There are times in life when everything gets serious. The room chills, the lights focus, sweat pours, adrenaline courses, and fangs and claws are bared. Whenever I come across such a moment I always try to insert a pirate joke.
Q: What does it cost for a pirate to have his ears pierced?
A: A Buccaneer, arrrrr
Q: Where is a pirate’s favorite place to honeymoon?
A: Arrrrrruba
Q: Where is a pirate’s favorite fast food place?
A: Arrrrrby’s
Etc. The formula is not difficult, but you must practice your Arrrrrr with crooked lip and squinty eyes.
Coworkers fighting? Pirate joke. Sister feeling ill? Pirate joke. Akward moment on stage when director is mad and cast is glaring? Pirate joke.
Try it. I’ll even offer the above pirate jokes free of charge, with a quality guarantee. If they don’t break the tension instantly, I’ll give you your money back.
Q. Who was the pirate\’s first love? A. Arrrrrr-lene
Hmm. Well, I tried. Obviously I will take you up on the Pirate Joke Tension-breaker trial period.
Of course I\’ll let you know how it goes!
My new e-mail address is a pirate joke all of its own! Where does a pirate park his ship? A harrrrrr-bor! HA!
Gotta love the tension breaking moments of life. Those are some of the best laughs in life.
Hope your crazy life is good! Sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now. A busy Gill is a happy Gill, I suppose. 🙂
