An itchy eye is a hard thing to resist.

yea, but then it becomes hilarious.

After that he wore a patch over one eye.

for a while they could see the point, now they have trouble knowing how far it is from them.

A seaman meets a pirate in a port, and talk turns to their adventures on the sea. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg leg, a hook, and an eye patch. The seaman asks, “So, how did you end up with the peg leg?”

The pirate replies, “A cannon ball took me leg and now I wears a wooden peg, arrr!”

“Wow!” said the seaman. “What about your hook?”

“Well,” replied the pirate, “We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of em cut me hand off, arrr!”

“Incredible!” remarked the seaman. “How did you get the eye patch?”

The pirate replied, “I was scanning the skies to check the weather and a sea-gull dropping fell into me eye, arrr!”.

“You lost your eye to a sea-gull dropping?”

“Arrr, not exactly,” said the pirate. “It was the first day I had me hook.”

Quite a hooking tome, huh?

And my first though was this

Pirates wore eye patches to keep one eye accustomed to darkness.

That joke had quite the hook to it…anyway, Happy New Year’s to everyone!

Did they ever find it?

I can’t forget the Mad Magazine marginal art (or whatever it was called). A man is standing on the sidewalk when a buddy approaches and slaps him on the back, saying, “How’s the ol’ glass eye?” The eye pops out, bounces into the street, and is run over by a steam roller (of course) with a “squorsh!” The first guy says, “It’s fine. Now I guess I will have to get one for the other eye.”

Captain Hook always did have an eye for fasten.

A very mom type thing to say. Which is why I tell my sister that she will never be happy. When she was about 9 years old, she was swinging a stick around. Our mom told her to stop with the words, ‘You won’t be happy until you poke someone’s eye out with that." My sister never managed to do that and the stick is now long gone.

Parental logic: gotta love it.

I believe it! Until someone gets hurt, parry on‼️

HAPPY NEW YEAR‼️

They all played “Blind-Man’s Bluff” and everyone was a winner!

Sooooooo, I assume Hook bought a BB gun. No?

“All fun until someone loses an eye.”

I’ve heard a song with that line. Also with verses about a leg, etc. Sorry that I don’t have a link handy.

That must’ve been some party. What! And I’m just now hearing about it!?

It’s all fun and games until somebody FINDS an eye.

Unless it happens to us, it’s still kinda fun, isn’t it?

That’s really U.K. esoteric…

The Band, stupid, not the Dizzy Hook…

Well, he hadn’t heard why George Costanza can’t carry a pen.

Captain Hook died of jock itch…

I’m an IT guy (computers, not the clown) and one of my lines is “It all fun and games until someone loses their IP”

This is really funny, Mas & Hart! Thanks!
