Tales from Buccaneer's Den:

A young adventurer meets an old sea dog pirate for drinks at The Fallen Virgin. The adventurer sees that the pirate has a peg leg, a hook, and an eye patch. The adventurer asks, "So, old tar, how did you end up with the peg leg?"

The pirate replies, "Arrr, matey, we was in a squall at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as me mates were pulling me out, a shark bit me leg off."

"Wow!" said the adventurer. "What about your hook?"

"Well," replied the pirate, "We was boarding an enemy ship and we was battling the scurvy rats on board with swords. One of them, he cut me hand off."

"Incredible!" exclaimed the adventurer. "How did you get the eye patch?"

"A sea-gull dropping fell into me eye," replied the pirate.

"Ummm... You lost your eye to a sea-gull dropping?" the adventurer asked incredulously.

"Nay." said the pirate. "It was the first day with me hook!"
