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

He liked to go to the city park and rent one of those duck-shaped paddleboats.

Then, he’d paddle around the pond, threatening to board the other boaters if they didn’t hand over their loot and precious cargo.

“We have some frozen yogurt,” said the couple in the other boat. “Oh, and some stuff from the gift shop.”

George took their stuff, laughed, and paddled away.

“He couldn’t have gone far,” said a park security guard, who looked a lot like George.

The yogurt was strawberry flavor.

It was delicious.
