A pirates first day It's a pirate's first day on a new ship. While swabbing the deck, he is approached by the captain. The captain is a weathered, veteran sailer and has three of the iconic pirate maladies- a peg leg, a hook for a hand, and an eyepatch. The new pirate asks the captain how he got the peg leg. ""Arrrr, it were me first day at sea. A great storm came and tossed me overboard. A great fish got me leg, and now I wear the peg"" The new pirate asked the captain how he acquired the hook. ""Arrr, it were me second day at sea. A great storm came and tossed me again! A great fish came and took me hand. Now I wear the hook"" The new pirate knew he was pushing his luck, but he couldn't stop now. He asked the captain how he got the eyepatch. ""Arrr, it were me third day at sea. A great bird flew overhead and shat in me eye."" The new pirate was confused. He asked ""that's how you lost your eye?"" The captain said ""No, but it were me first day with the hook!""
