It’s a good, sensible question.

Slim to none.

“Walking the plank” is a cliche. (So is buried treasure.)

“You want to be a pirate, eh, matey? What experience do you have?”

“Well, I was a lawyer for ten years before being elected to Congress”.

“Cut him loose, boys! Welcome to the crew!”

I have gold coins buried….I’ll share if you let me join…auuuuuurgh

Before I go I have to know how much you paid for those earrings?

Two dollars.

Not bad for a buccaneer.

You might not like the pirate iniation ceremony

About the same chance as winning the Olympic Gold for your next dive.

We already Rrr. Saber the moment.

“I just thought I’d ask. It was worth a shot. I don’t suppose I can get a second opinion. How about if I just promise to stop talking?”

Much less than becoming fish food.. bad luck.

Argh, slim and none!

“You’ve got to ‘walk the walk’, then we can talk the talk.”

Well, you’d have to forfeit an eye, hand, or leg….

Yo Ho Ho……

Time for negotiation—here’s what I have to trade. . .

“You want to become a pirate? Well, the first thing you need to do is move to Pittsburgh.”

We’ll see if you pass the initiation first.

According to Pirates of Penzance, it helps to be an orphan.
