Sorry, lad. The offer I’ve got _still_ beats yours. Try again in a couple of weeks? I’ll bring friends! 😃 ---

The carrier has had a complete makeover: painted flat black with gloss black trim, colored lights flood different areas of the deck, 6 fully stocked wetbars and of course, ship band, _Cake_, is warming up for an evening’s festivities. \* > > This is a booty call. Hmmm Nimitz, I was an electrician on the USS Ranger, now I know you can use my help as crew. ---

Now lad, we need to have a wee bit of a talk here. I know, I know, you have a nice big… Boat. I know some people say you’re just compensating for something, but I hear you’re a good swordsman, so it can’t be that. We’ll put that aside. Lad, you’re living under a name that’s not yours. I mean, look at your title and sig line? It’s not you, lad. People might -have- been afraid of the DPR, but now it’s a franchise operation. I’m serious. Look around. There are tons of people taking the name. Now, ye need to make yourself a name. One of your own. Get out from under cumberbund’s skirts and come up with something good. If ye feel like it, you can come over and I’ll give you some tips. Sure, you’re good with the sword, but how are you with pillaging? Keel-hauling? Skulking? How’s your parrot lingo? In fact, now that I think about it… Classes are starting, and it’s only a few dabloons or similar offer of booty / grog / gold / treasure maps / particularly cool monkeys. Let’s raise the black sail, lads and lassies! ---

DREAD PIRATE ROBERTS: Arrrrr, me pretty, I’ll have me way with ye or I’ll throw ye to the hungry sharks. SWEET YOUNG THING: Oh, cap’n! Sharks! Will they eat me whole? DREAD PIRATE ROBERTS: No, little missy, I’m told they spit that part out. ---

You can have half my booty. As a matter of fact you can also have half my tummy and half my thighs; I’ll be happier without them. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-dread-pirate-roberts-demands-your-booty/355395.md?page=1)
