George and the raven

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

He was always leaving the ship’s portholes open, and one day a raven flew in and landed on George’s head.

“Nevermore,” said the raven.

“What the crap does that mean?” said George.

“Nevermore,” repeated the bird.

George swatted the raven away, got up, and looked up nevermore in a dictionary.

The definition further irritated him.

“Why would a raven say nevermore?” said George.

“Nevermore,” said the raven.

George drew his cutlass and killed the annoying bird.

He roasted it in the galley and ate it.

Quoth the pirate, “Delicious.”
