An able-bodied seaman meets a pirate in a saloon. They start swapping sea stories. Noting the pirate's peg leg, hook, & eye patch the seaman asks, "So, how did you end up with the peg leg?"

The pirate replies, "We was caught in a monster storm off the cape & a giant wave swept me overboard. Just as they were pullin' me out, a school of sharks swum up & one of 'em chomped me leg clean off."

"Blimey!" said the sailor. "What about the hook?"

"Ahhhh...," mused the pirate, "we were boardin' a trader ship, pistols blastin' & cutlasses swingin' this way & that. In the fracas me hand got hacked off."

"Zounds!" remarked the seaman. "And how came ye by the eye patch?"

"A seagull droppin' fell into me eye," answered the pirate.

"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked?

"Aye," said the pirate. "It was me first day with the hook."

Brilliant. Dave.

The pain of obedience. Joshua ch 5 vs 2. Just think of the young couple who had just got married that very day. Dave.
