Tuesday September 19th 2006 is Talk Like a Pirate Day! Talk Like a Pirate Day only comes once a year (on September 19th), this year it falls on a Tuesday. If you’re not ready yet, you can learn more about this international holiday on the About TLAPD page or practice some phrases from the PiratePhrases page. After all, you don’t want to be handed the BlackSpot when the holiday is over!

9. talk like a REAL pirate! -->>
"Our aggregate profits are so large because we have huge sales. But our profit margins—the more relevant measure—are below the overall Standards and Poor industry average. Exxon Mobil, the most profitable company among us, posted $100 billion in sales last quarter —the first American company to hit that mark ever. But its profits were $10 billion—hardly a margin that suggests the "price gouging" that some of you have accused us of."

Aaaarrrr...

10. So, a pirate walks into a bar
with a ship's wheel stuffed down the front of his pants and asked for a pint of ale. The bartender gave him his mug and asked, "Is that a ship's wheel down the front of your pants?"

The pirate said, "Aye, and it's driving me nuts!"


sorry
