From [International Talk Like A Pirate Day – Sept. 19, every year since 2002](http://www.talklikeapirate.com/links.html#translators)

[Fabricating here a bit…you work out the details]

How do you know if a pirate is high tech?  
He has an aye-phone.

From: [http://www.piratetreasure.org/pirate-jokes.htm](http://www.piratetreasure.org/pirate-jokes.htm)

Where do pirates find their birds? Parrots Without Partners.

Where do pirates get chocolate? Carob bean

What kind of look does a pirate give right before walking off the ship? Plank stare.

There are name generators out there of course. One I found last year also allowed you to name your “ship,” i.e., car. Mine came out “Fearful strumpet of the Caribbean.”

This one, sir, was a major groaner. I’ll have to try it tomorrow!

I don’t get it. Do the Japanese say kkkkkkk? Maybe it’s only in advanced Japanese that I haven’t yet studied where nihonjin start to sound like the Zerg.

I’ve always loved that one, but the punchline I learned was:

“Thar on the side’a me head, where’s yer buckin’ eyes?!”

It was a bad joke really. Koreans play lots of Starcraft and their online laugh is ‘kekekekeke’ which sorta sounds like ‘kkkkk.’
