''...And the
ghost did come down upon us,
and though the thinning fog I did see three
horrible figures.
Emotionless, cursed rulers of this wicked sea were they
and their intentions
covered the Water Witch like a net of doom.
Then all hell broke loose.
The crew had turned aside the attack, and filled up with confused madness.
Mate against mate, blood brother against blood brother .
I felt their presence in my soul, in my very mind, searching... searching
for all bad deeds I did do.
I felt my sanity slipping
away.
I made for the upper deck and I hurled my self overboard....''

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering
wheel in his pants. The bartender
says "hey, you've got a steering wheel in your pants", the pirate
replies
"yarrrrr, it's driving me nuts".

as judge in the field of truth and
knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods." --Albert
