A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel down his pants.
The bartender looks at him, and says "Did you know you have a steering wheel down your pants?"
The pirate says "Arr, and its drivin' me nuts!"

Ralph Garman (The Joe Schmoe Show) has been pushing this day on KROQ 106.7 in Los Angeles for about a month now. He has had a pirate joke a day and some have been funny. One of them kind of went like this:
What happened to the pirate who set fire to his ship?
He was charged with arrrrson!
Well you had to hear it, to appreciate it!
Chris

I remember when I was a carry-out for Menards, and we had two-way radios to talk to each other and management. One day, me and the other carry-outs just went and spoke to each other all day in Piratese over the phone, driving the managers nuts.
Apparently, they didn't get the joke we were playing about 'pirate radio'.

The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I'm fine, really."
"Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really."
"Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes."
"Well," says the pirate, "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them shat in my eye."
"So?" replied the bartender, "what happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from some bird shit!"

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!"
The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, which the captain put on and lead the crew to battle the pirate boarding party. Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled.
The men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's events when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?" The Captain, giving the ensign a look that
only a captain can give, exhorted, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the blood, and thus you men will continue to fight unafraid." The men
sat in silence, marveling at the courage of such a man.
The next morning, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending boarding parties. The crew cowered in fear, but the captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!" Once again, the battle was on, and the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, though this time more casualties occurred.
Later that day, however, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to the Captain, their leader, for his usual command.
The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!"
AAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!
