For you & I,
the
skull & crossbones
on a
bottle of disinfectant
tells us,
Do Not Drink!
***
But to a pirate,
it’s just the opposite.
***
To a pirate, it says,
Do drink, me matey!
ii.
And that’s
probably why
so many pirates died
from
accidentally
drinking window
cleaner.

It does have a very alluring hue. To a pirate it resembles the shimmering water of a miniature golf course.

I’m at the end of my rope here, but I’m going to take a stab at this without parroting anyone else’s comment:
(1) At least the pirate ship’s windows were clean.
(2) Elon Musket builds great ships.

Hmmm, so drinking cleaning products is something of a Pirate nature. That explains a little bit about 45.

Pirates were mostly apolitical, though a few were known to have posted ‘Vote No on Prop. 9’ signs, which was an anti-pirating measure.

In conclusion: top killers of pirates:
1. stabbed with a sword
2. stabbed with a sword whilst swinging on a rope
3. accidentally drinking windex
4. Psittacosis (parrot disease)
5. Intentionally drinking windex to fight the parrot disease
6. Musket fire from some coward land-lubber.

“Matey” is such a great word that doesn’t get used much these days. This week, I’m going to use it in everyday conversation.

I may try that myself. Using “mate” is far less common in the states, so suddenly skipping a step and going straight to “matey” might put people off balance, but why not?
