The pirate captain wanted to settle down. He’d been rough, he’d been tough, he’d been ruthless. He’d terrorised the red light districts of every east coast city.

But now he wanted a nice lady to marry, one with breeding and finesse, but had no idea how to meet one. He checked into a swanky Manhattan hotel, discreetly asking the concierge how to approach quality ladies.

“Just say hello in your own language.” suggested the concierge.

Later, the pirate returned to the desk reeling from a slapped face.

“What exactly did you say sir?” asked the concierge.

“Yo-ho, of course!”

    Not sure if this works. I had to work hard for this. 🤔

    It works. Maybe he should stick to what he knows, like 15 men on a dead man's chest.

    Thanks Drew. I wasn’t sure if the humour would work as it depends on reading it out loud.
