Return -

After many years at sea a pirate decided it was time to retire. Since he had suffered injuries on the
job he thought that he could also collect disability insurance. He had a wooden leg, a hook where
his right hand should be and a patch over his right eye. The agency assured him that he would be
compensated if the injuries were work related. "How did you get the wooden leg?" In a booming
voice the pirate replied:

"WELL MATEY, YOU SEE IT WAS LIKE THIS: ME AND ME MATES WERE ON THE
HIGH SEAS WHEN THE BOOM SHE SWANG 'ROUND AND KNOCKED ME INTO
THE SEA WHERE A SHARK BIT OFF ME LEG."

"Well that is certainly work related. How did you loose your hand." In a booming voice the pirate
replied:

"WELL MATEY, YOU SEE IT WAS LIKE THIS: ME AND ME MATES WERE ON THE
HIGH SEAS WHEN THE BOOM SHE SWANG 'ROUND AND KNOCKED ME INTO
THE SEA WHERE A SHARK BIT OFF ME HAND."

"Well that is certainly work related. How did you loose your eye." In a booming voice the pirate
replied:

"WELL MATEY, YOU SEE IT WAS LIKE THIS: I WAS LAYING ON THE DECK ONE
BALMY DAY CATCHING SOME RAYS WHEN THIS *%#@* SEAGULL FLEW BY
AND DROPPED HIS DUTY RIGHT IN ME EYE!"

"Well yes, but what does that have to do with the loss of your eye?"

"IT WERE THE FIRST DAY WITH ME HOOK!"
