And I don't be mean'n no Comp-U-There type of pirate'n either. I be hired by a local senior center to come a visit'n as "Capn Dan--Pirate." (It will be around Talk Like A Pirate day.)
I got my costume, and my pirate name.
Now I just be need'n a few pirate phrases besides Arrrgh, and a few pirate jokes besides "What be a pirate's favorite letter--RRrrrrrr." or "Now gents, that wench be what I'm a call'n a great piece o Pirate Booty...enough to shiver me own timbers it is".
Ok, that last is not really Senior Center appropriate.
Speaking of inappropriate...
I also need a good name for my pirate ship. My first thought was "The HMS-PMS, the most fearsome ship afloat." but then I thought--NOT APPROPRIATE.

The Kennedy-Oswald, but the port side canons all ways be shooting at the starboard. They should appreciate the joke, wether or not they think its funny is anyone's guess but they will get it.

I have another inappropriate pirate joke for you...
One pirate turns to another and asks, "Why do yee have that ship's wheel as a belt buckle?"
"It drives me nuts!"
For a name for your ship, how about a name that drives terror into the souls of all that hears it, the HMS Floaty?

My ship just turned forty years old, its holdin up just fine but on the way to port it was mighty worried about about the check up waitin at the dock. Something about the dock hands goin up behind the rudder...

I am sure you will be a great pirate but why does a senior center need a pirate? I can see for kids but seniors?

I think I am probably missing something but it sort of seems like hiring a clown for a kids birthday.

It is like a clown for a kids party. In fact senior living centers often hire clowns, Santas, and other "kids" entertainers to entertain the seniors.
Mostly its all they can afford.
There are only so many church choirs, student concerts, and amateur musicians that they can stand.
Besides, it lets them play a little, which isn't too bad.
Of course, if you treat them like little children they won't want you back. Treat them like the adults they are, who have time to play, and they love the attention.

You are the only person who could play a pirate(clown, Santa...) that I can imagine not wanting to stab even at my age much less when I am 30 years older and crankier.
That may have been hard to parse. It was a compliment. Posts: 11187 | Registered: Sep 2005

A variation on a joke you already presented.
"What's a pirate's favorite letter?" "R?" "Aye, you think it be R, but it be the C!"
If you have a hook, you can hold it up. I don't usually have a hook, so I just make a C with my hand.
