Be a better pirate.

My son has a children’s book with the line “Pirates always pay their share”. Literally the opposite of what pirates do, drives me nuts.

I love you Neil Gaiman, but you’re better than that.

Just because they're pirate doesn't mean they don't believe in sharing.

I don’t think divvying up the booty is really the same as sharing, albeit much more fun to say.

A lot of pirate ships sailed under 'the articles' which guaranteed a full share for every crewman, a share and a half for officers and two shares for the captain.

Ah yes, rule two of the pirate code: no swearing. This, of course, coming after rule one: no stealing. Very famous pirate rules.

Yer a scurvy dog and a land lubber!

You fight like a dairy farmer!!

Darn it, won't get anything from pirate santa this year 😔.

what kinda land lubber whaleshite be this?
