Two pirates, Morty and Sol, meet in a bar. Sol has a patch over one eye, a hook for a hand and a wooden peg leg. “Ye gads, matey,” says Morty. “What happened to ya?”

“Me pirate ship was attacked, and a lucky shot lopped off me leg. So now I got me a wooden peg,” Sol responds.

“And yer hand?” asks Marty.

“When me ship sank, a shark bit me hand off. So now I got me a hook.”

“Okay, but what’s with the eye patch?”

“I was standin’ on a dock, and the biggest seagull I ever saw poops right in me eye.”

Quit trying to act like I’m a steamboat operator.” This letter took a really harsh turn right away. (via Esquire)

He comes back to bed, and his wife says, “Who is that?” He says, “Oh, some stranger who wanted a push. I told him I couldn’t help him.” She says, “What if that was you? What if you needed a push in the middle of the night?” He says, “You’re right. Fine.” So he gets dressed, and he goes out into the darkness and yells, “Hey man, are you still there? Do you still need help?” The guy yells back, “Yeah, I do!” He says, “Where are you?” And he says, “I’m over here on the swing.” (via Vulture)
