Happy "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!!!

Happy "Talk Like A Pirate Day"!

If you participate, Do exercise care in the workplace,
because it is still considered inappropriate to say things like:

-I like 'em round in the counter and bluff in the bow!
-Come give this ol' sea dog a bone!
-Give a gallon to the shanty man and blow boys, blow!

Gentlemen, do NOT refer to the ladies as:
"a good place to bury treasure" or
"a chest of gold and jewels".

Ladies, do NOT ask a gentleman:
"Can your mast withstand this storm?"

And NOBODY should ask:
"Is that a parrot on your shoulder or are you just happy to see me?"

And most especially, do NOT practice THIS form of Pirate Courtship:

"Arrrh! Shiver me timbers, swab me cannons, and load the shot. Thar blows a tight vessel with booty worth plunderin! Ahoy There!! Heave to, drop yer sails and prepare to be boarded!!"

...especially while drunk on grog.

Hope this helps.

Any scurvy dog that finds you less than ship shape should either walk the plank or go polish their cutlass.
