George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He was a pretty good competitive eater, though.
Every Fourth of July, he’d sail to Coney Island to compete in Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.
He’d soak the bun in water, chow it down, and then eat the meat.
Repeat a few dozen times.
The problem was, George would build a huge lead quickly, often breaking the record, only to vomit everything up and get disqualified.
He changed his strategy to vomit all over the other contestants, trying to make them vomit.
“At least I’ll tie,” said George.
