"What about your eye," the bartender asked? "Last time you were here you had both eyes, now you have one."
"Aye, that be true," the pirate replied, "Well ye see, we was sailing along and I heard this noise from above. I looked up and a seagull crapped right in me eye."
"I can see where that might be unpleasant," said the bartender. "But how does that put out your eye?"
"Well ye see," replied the pirate, "It was me first day with the hook."
