I saw all the bad pirate jokes and had to add:

Why do pirates always bury their treasure 18 inches below the ground?
Because booty is only shin deep!

I've been lurking for a long long time now...it figures that TLaP day would get me to comment!

Good pirates should be catchin' a wink in the wee hours of the mornin', not playin' games all the night through, Matey.

Thanks for explaining Merbrat. I don't know how I could have possibly missed this all these years...

I'm liking the "pirate pickup lines" from talklikeapirate.com:

Top 10

10 . Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?

9. Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm?

8. Come on up and see me urchins.

7. Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you.

6. I'd love to drop anchor in your lagoon.

5. Pardon me, but would ya mind if fired me cannon through your porthole?

4. How'd you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?

And the number one pickup line for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day is …

1. Prepare to be boarded.

Bonus pickup lines:

You’re drinking a Salty Dog? How’d you like to try the real thing?

Wanna shiver me timbers?

I’ve sailed the seven seas, and you’re the sleekest schooner I’ve ever sighted.

Brwaack! Polly want a cracker? … Oh, wait. That’s for Talk Like a PARROT Day.

That’s the finest pirate booty I’ve ever laid eyes on.

Let's get together and haul some keel.

[jerhanner]

Have you heard about the new pirate movie?

'Tis rated arrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[Merbrat]

kristinalead: Yeah, I got their book, locally, about 6 months ago. It's hysterical!
At least, today, I can regale people with their witticisms. Usually, my friends just looked at me with that "look" that asked "*why* are you reading that?"

[Lanen]

Yar scurvy dogs!

Have a great Talk Like a Pirate Day Wil!

Pirates rule, ninjas drool!

[Anne]

What's a pirate's favourite letter?

P, Because it's an R that's missing a leg!!

BWAHAHAHA!!!! I've been telling that since I was about 4, and I still find it hilarious.

[Anne]

Ok, this is the last lame pirate joke from me:

A pirate walks into a bar wearing a paper towel on his head. He sits down at the bar and orders some dirty rum.

The bartender asks, "Why are you wearing a paper towel?"

"Arrr..." says the pirate. "I've got a bounty on me head!"

[Nita]

R

[alikitty619]

Are you a real pirate?

[Amber J]

Oh no, you broke it alikitty619.

For my next joke of the day...
A regular at the bar sits down and is talking to the bartender. "Gee, I'm going to miss you guys. I signed up to go work on a boat, far away on the seven seas!" The bartender says there will always be a spot for him at the bar when he returns. Several weeks later, the man returns to the bar, but the bartender is shocked to see him with a peg leg, a hook for a hand, and an eye patch. "Buddy, what happened to your leg?" "Arrr, the captain didn't like my deck swabbin' abilities, so he made me walk the plank. There were sharks in those waters, and one got away with my leg!" "Thats terrible! At least you lived! What happened to your hand, though?" "Yo ho ho, another great story. We were plundering another ship we came across on the high seas, and I lost it in a sword fight!" The bartender was intrigued by the story, finally asking about the eye patch, to which the pirate replied, "A bird pooped on my head." "How would that cause you to need an eye patch?" "It was my first day with the hook."

[Keri]

Your teeny pirate hat doesn't do justice to your fierce pirate demeanor. How do you expect all the other pirates to take you seriously if you're grinning like that and giving us all thumbs up? Next thing you know, you're going to give yourself a pansy pirate name like Captain Shakespeare.
