If Blackbeard were around the Caribbean today, he’d have a kiosk shoreside selling crappy T-shirts, trinkets, Cuban cigars, and _Genuine Tanzanite Jewelry at 50% of US Mainland Prices!_. Be rakin’ it in every day, he would, and no cutting his mates in on any of it.

Given Blackbeard’s hygene, do you think it would really work that well?
