DEL.ICIO.USArggghhhh: It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, which began in 1995, it’s time for a little revelry.
The holiday was founded by John Baur and Mark Summers after a racquetball game between them during which one of them (they can’t remember who) yelled out “Arrr!” in a cry of pain, according to talklikeapirate.com, the official Web site of the holiday.
So send us your best pirate jokes or a list of your favorite buccaneers. Best pirate punishments, etc. Just about anything piratical — and suitable for print.

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel attached to the front of his paints. Goes up to the bartender & orders a drink. The bartender says to him, “excuse me sir, but do you know that there is a steering wheel attached to the front of your belt?” To which the pirate replies - “Arrrrr, it’s drivin’ me nuts!”
