Pirate Sheep 06.26.10

What would a four-legged, woolly animal use to sail the seven seas?


A PIRATE SHEEEEEEEP, ARRRRRG!

Get it? Pirate sheep? Like ship, only with an extended (i) vowel? Like arg me mateeeeeeey, I'm on a pyrit sheeeeeeeeep!

WOW! That joke fell flatter than a pancake on an ironing board...

This was inspired by a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon, and I (like so many) was taken in by the charming appeal of the pirates... their rougish attitudes, their sexy hair-dos, the way that they would risk... well... not all that much to save each other.

And then I thought to myself, "Wait... these 'bad guys' who are trying to kill all pirates... aren't they doing so because the pirates just ROBBED AND KILLED THEIR FAMILIES?"

Breaking and entering and manslaughter charges aside, pirates in real life aren't really anything like in the movie... except they do have guns and they're probably pretty dirty. But I'm betting its not the romantic Carribean life that the box office makes it out to be...

It's settled, then... JOHNNY DEPP! Go be a sexy pirate somewhere out on the ocean.
