George was a bad student

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

He got lousy grades in pirate school, his teachers held him up for ridicule, and his classmates bullied him.

So, George swore he’d get his revenge.

Back then, there weren’t high-capacity guns to mow down a schoolyard full of kids, nor were there cars you could drive into them.

Sure, he could have started a fire. But he wasn’t good at it.

And he was mocked for it.

So, he became a pirate, and he caused “accidents” that got his nasty former classmates captured or killed.

Sweet, sweet revenge.
