Jokes you can tell it class- "A Pirate & Land-Lubber Conversation" A pirate was talking to a "land-lubber" near his boat. The land-lubber noticed that, like any self-respecting pirate, this guy had a peg leg, a hook in place of one of his hands and a patch over one eye. The land-lubber just had to find out how the pirate got in such bad shape. He asked the pirate, "How did you loose your leg?" The pirate responded, "I lost me leg in a battle off the coast of Jamaica!" His new acquaintance was still curious so he asked, "What about you hand. Did you loose it at the same time?" "No," answered the pirate. "I lost it to the sharks off the Florida Keys." Finally, the land-lubber asked, "I notice you also have an eye patch. How did you loose your eye? The pirate answered, "I was sleeping on a beach when a seagull flew over and bathroomed right in me eye." The land-lubber asked, "How could a little seagull poop make you loose your eye?" The pirate snapped, "It was the day after I got me hook!" ============================================================= Sponsor: Senada.com is the fun, easy, and FREE way to send announcements and invitations for any occasion!
