    At least he’s being marched off a plank that still over the ship’s deck; so it won’t be nearly as unpleasant as being plunged into the sea. I’m sure if Nate were here, he’d save the parrot.

    … and if you know who were here, he’d explain how this gag wouldn’t work because the parrot could simply fly away. The sad part is, that’s what makes this joke so funny!

    And here was an opportunity missed to explain that in the history of pirates, there is no account of any pirate forcing anyone to ever walk a plank.

    And you might throw in the fact that parrots do not sweat. And on and on, ad naseum.

    If that was a true South American Parrot (idiotus Balonious) it would be more colors than black and white. Also, horizontal stripes were not produced in the Western Hemisphere till the 17 th century.

    Pirate is now used to denote anyone who steals intellectual property.

    I had a friend who I met on my first excursion to Mars who told me space pirates are more common than they were.

    Joe, if you had read the other comments above, you would have seen that they all were making fun of you. If ignorance is bliss, you must be the world’s happiest guy.

    Joe hasn’t posted (or had posts that remain) since Monday the 12th. Banished? Voluntarily withdrew from the site? We may never know…
