And the pirate joke of the year is (thanks to Tony Mroczkowski – actually, I’ve been telling this one for years, since he told it to me, but I’ve never blogged it, so…. ):<\/p>\n
So this pirate walks into a bar, and he’s totally the real deal. He’s got the peg leg, the eye patch, the outfit, the parrot – everything, right?
\nBut the strange thing is, he has this huge steering wheel coming out of his crotch. From the size of it, I’d say it might have been from a Honda Civic, but one can never be too sure – you don’t want to stare at a pirate’s crotch, now, do you?<\/p>\n
Anyhow, so, the bartender asks the pirate (let’s call him Vusi), he says, “Vusi, what the hell is that for? Why do you have a steering wheel coming out of your crotch? What’s it doing there?”<\/p>\n
