George and the lottery

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.

He’d rather buy lottery tickets than loot and pillage.

And when he did loot and pillage, he’d use his shares of the booty to buy more lottery tickets.

He never won anything. Well, okay, a few bucks here and there.

And that one time that he won large fries at McDonalds instead of the small fries. That was something.

“The odds of you winning are astronomical,” said the captain. “Why do you play?”

“If I lose, I don’t die,” said George, loading the cannon as The British Fleet approached.
