Pirates.

This is a little joke that I had gotten from a book.

There was once a pirate ship with 138 men on it.

On the very first day at sea, the pirates ran into 8 ships.

The captain commanded, "GRAB ME RED SHIRT!"

The pirates won the battle.

On the third day, the pirates were up against 3 ships.

The captain screamed, "GRAB MY RED SHIRT!"

The pirates lost this battle.

On the eighth day of the voyage, one of the crew members asked, "Captain, why do you always yell for your red shirt before a battle?"

The captain retorted, "It is because if I am ever wounded in battle, my crew won't lose hope."

"Well, that's mighty noble of you captain."

12 days later, the pirates ran into 98 pirate ships.

The captain shouted, "GRAB MY BROWN PANTS!"

I would not want to be a politician... Let me tell you this: If I was campaigning, and I go against my opponent and he started attacking my character, and I leap over the table and choke him unconscious, would that help my campaign? --Chuck Norris--

Actually I never watch Star Wars and not interested in it anyway, but I choose a Yoda card as my avatar in honor of our great friend bobbym who has passed away.
