Sailor walks up to a Pirate in a bar...
...offers to buy the pirate a drink if he tells him the tales of his hook, pegleg, and eye patch.
The pirate agrees, but to one drink per tale.
Sailor buys him a drink, and says, well, why don't you start with the pegleg?
Pirate takes a long swig, leans forward and says "SHARK!"
Sailor nods... opens his mouth, and the pirate interrupts him
"...as I said, shark took me leg; we was in heavy seas, attempting to take a ship, I be slashed and spashed o'r the side; little did I know thar sharks in the water... before me mates could fish me back aboard, one o' them toofy beasts 'ad removed me leg... cap'n hisself sacrificed his table so that me stump would be more balanced and seaworthy... I floats a bit better now, but still swim like a log"
Sailor notices his drink had emptied, motions to the bartender and asks about the hook.
Pirate grins at his newly filled glass, takes a swig and says "BATTLE!"
Sailor nods... and pirate cuts him off before he can say anything
"As I were sayin', in battle... see, I'd gone off'n the boat to see my liddle lass, and I come to find her and woo her as was propper for a man. When I got to the door of'n her abode, her father greeted me, cutlass in han' and asked my bidness at his house. I un'told'im that I was there to ask for his datter's hand in marridge... the fire in his eyes told me he didn't approve, and he raised his blade... me forgettin I'd left mine on the ship, and I attempted to block the blow... so I guess instead o' me gettin' her hand in marridge, he took my hand instead."
Sailor, swayed back in his chair, motioned to get the pirate's drink filled for the last tale.
Pirate took another deep swig, and said "ah, you'd be wantin' to know how I gots the patch, eh?"
Sailor said "Of course! After the other tales, it's got to have been the best!"
Pirate looks at him, and says "Well, I don' want ya to be upset at me, but it was a blasted SEAGULL!", and promptly drowns the rest of his drink.
Sailor looks stunned, jumps to his feet, pointing his finger, shouts at the pirate "You survived a shark bite and the murderous vengeance of the father of the lady you tainted... and you dare to mock me by telling me you lost your eye to a seagull?!?"
Pirate said "Well, it weren't so much the seagull, as it were the seagull dropping"
Sailor turned beet red at this and stammered "You lost your eye because the seagull sh*t in your eye?"
Pirate staggered up, and walked towards the door... paused for a second, raised his arm and said "Well, it were me first day with the hook"
