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

And he didn’t get any better at it with the pandemic.

The CDC told people not to rub their faces and eyes, which is you have a hook for a hand, already makes sense.

But when the CDC ordered people to social distance, he would yell at his swashbuckling opponents to keep six feet away.

“But my sword is only two feet long,” said his opponent.

“I guess we can’t swashbuckle then,” said George. “Parley then?”

His opponent put his sword away while George drew his pistol and fired.
