Dirty John Bonney at yer service.
What’s that ye say? Me wooden leg? ‘twas a cannonball took me natural leg straight to Davy Jones’ locker.
The hook where me hand should be? 'twas lost in a swordfight many years ago. Aye, but the other guy, he weren’t so lucky.
The patch on me eye? Well, a little bird shat it in it. Aye, a bird. Ye must ken, I’d only had me hook for a couple days at that point.
