A pirate walks into a bar
the bartender says you look horrific.
The pirate says, “What do you mean”?
I feel great, in fact I feel terrific.
--
What about the wooden leg?
You didn’t have that last fall.
Oh! I’m fine now but it got hit
during a battle, by a cannonball.
--
Okay but what about that hook.
What happened to your hand?
I was in a sword fight and was cut off
by the sword of another man.
--
Oh yeah, well what about the eye patch?
How did you lose your eye?
One day when we were out to sea
a bird crapped in my eye as it flew by.
--
What? You can’t lose your eye that way.
even if you did look.
“Yeah”, the pirate said, but it was my
first day with the hook.

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
