GOOD CLEAN HUMOUR

[DirtDawg]

Actually, the eye patches that pirates wore were to make it easy to go below decks during a raid.

The eye patch preserved their night vision in one eye so they would flip the patch up when they went below decks, they would put it back over their eye above decks.

We have all heard that, but keeping a parrot on ones shoulder has its dangers. A patch on the parrot side was a good idea.
 


But, come on,now. Can't we just chuckle a bit?

My understanding is that there is no historical evidence that pirates wore eye patches for the night vision benefits. Nor is there any real evidence that wearing eye patches was particularly common among pirates. It's a very plausible hypothesis though. I was reading that it used to be quite common for military pilots to wear an eye patch for similar reasons (also sometimes wearing a lead or gold lined eyepatch to prevent blinding in both eyes in case of a nuclear flash or laser attack).

Well, if you lot are going to get all pissy and existential about my posting a stupid joke with no more expectation than we stop to enjoy humor for a second or two, then I challenge you to MAKE me laugh or at least pause to think for a moment as QV does!
Since we are doing this, though ... How about the fact that ninety nine percent of the pirates never even saw a fucking parrot in their entire lives. Who knows where the parrot myths originated.


Probably fucking Disney.

Parrots may well have traded in parrots.

Going off on tangents should be banned.

I'm just happy that, at my advanced age, my curiosity can still be triggered so easily.

Let's talk about pirates some more.

A tall, muscular black pirate walked into a bar with an immensely colourful parrot on his shoulder. The barman said "he's a beauty, where'd you get him from?" and the parrot replied "WAAAAAAK! Africa!".

One of the best, most hilarious typos I have seen in a while

There you go, if you can't make 'em laugh with intended humour, just make a typo that implies some kind of parrot slave trade.

I find this shit and just have to put it here!!!

In the frozen foods department of Wal-Mart last Saturday morning, I noticed a man shopping with his son.

As I walked by, he checked something off his list, and I heard him whisper conspiratorially to the child,

'You know, Harry, if we really mess this up, we'll never have to do it again.'

Again, if you have to explain a joke, the the joke has failed.

I will try to help a bit. What is another way to indicate the square root of negative one? What is two cubed?
OK, from here?

Backward thinking much.
It is making words out of it that makes it funny.

I have now explained it twice. MY jokes suck!
