He’s got a speech impirament.

Captain Kid.

A young Captain Jack Sparrow…

I remember not being able to pronounce my "R"s correctly. So, they taught me a line, which I had to practice and practice and practice…“Round the Rugged Rock, the Ragged Rascal Ran”

Once there was a pirate applying for medical insurance. He had a peg leg, a hook, and an eye patch. Before his policy could go into effect, he had to have an interview with the insurance agent about his medical history. .“Now, I see here that you’ve sustained three injuries,” said the agent. “Tell me about them, in chronological order, please.”. “Well,” said the pirate, " the first was me leg. We was attacking a Spanish Galleon with a cannonade, and they was returning fire. One of the cannonballs took me leg clean off, just below the knee. That’s when I got me peg leg. Then we was boarded by the Queen’s Marines. We fought them off, but one of the scurvy dogs lopped me hand off in the battle. That’s when I got me hook. And the last was when I was up the main mast, on crow’s nest duty. A seagull flew over, I looked up at it, and the bastard shat in me eye." .“I see how that would be an annoyance, but why would that cause the loss of your eye?”. “Well, y’see… it was a week after I got me hook.”

You think kids have a problem saying their ‘R’, you should have heard my son first learning to say ‘truck’.
