George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
His most recent personnel review had branded him a coward, so George set out to prove his valor and bravery.
He volunteered to take the morning shift at the wheel, and when he saw a light through the fog, he called for all cannon to be loaded, full sail, and he steered to close the distance.
“FIRE! FIRE!” shouted George, and the crew launched a full volley…
At the Charleston Lighthouse.
His next review branded him an idiot.
“But at least I’m no longer a coward!” beamed George happily.
