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

When the ship’s captain was away on vacation, he hired a temp to run things.

“The captain warned me about you, George,” said the temp captain. “I’ll keep my eye in you.”

So, after their first raid…

“Sorry about that stray shot,” said George. “But that’s a nice eyepatch you’ve got there.”

By the time George’s captain returned, the temp captain was sporting a new eyepatch, a pegleg, and a hook hand.

“Well that ended badly,” said the captain. “I am not looking forward to his review on Glassdoor.”
