Why You Should Hire A Pirate


Pirates are the kind o' fellers what can handle pretty much anything. So long as ye let them bellow sea shanties while they're whoppin' at whatever 'tis.

Pirates say what they're thinkin'. None o' that willy-whiskered cheerleading here. You swab!!!

Gold is good. Ye kin get a pirate to do most anythin' fer gold. An' possibly a nice piece o' delicious fudge. Or bucket o' rum.

Hours arrrre negotiable. Meself, I like me some three-in-the marnin' shifts.

Unlikely to file workers comp claims. Them's for sissies and hornswogglers.

Pirates kick arse, every damn time.

So the next time ye're castin' aboot fer a new employee, and ye're tired of yer pansy crew, if ye're smart ye'll check the local docks. Also, wharf cats is good if ye've got a varmint problem.

Stupid metal freaks

Those damn robots in Payroll. I can't work with 'em! ARRRR!!! I wars trying to git down th' hall all quiet like, an' one o' those buggers comes clankin' aroun' th' corner fit to blow me down with his stupid iron wrath.

I figgered out me sword don't do no good against these monsters, so I hauls my pegleg up and ponks 'im one in the chest. He should'a capsized but instead he jist keeps a-walkin' an' starts pushing me down the hall! The nerve!!! Me, the pirate, hopping down the hall on me one good leg, trying to figger out how to git me out of this sitchyashun.

ARRRR!!! The matter was NOT settled to my pleasure.

The next time I sees one a them hornswogglers, I'm takin' me cannon to 'im.
