Another option would of course be telling me a pirate joke I've never heard before............
In 2300+ posts someone surely has said, "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member" and that's where I'm at.
I'll post a joke anyway:
For Halloween the little boy was dressed up as a pirate.
His mom took him over to his grandparents house so they could see his cute little costume which included an oversized tricorne pirate's hat.
His grampa asked him, "If you're a pirate, where are your buccaneers?"
The little boy looked puzzled for a moment but then said...
"Under my buckin' hat!"
