It be International Speak Like a Pirate Day! So hoist the mains’l and shiver me timbers. Abandon yer landlubber ways and sail the seven seas in search of treasure.
Not sure how to join in the spirit of the day? Why not try these:
• Threaten to make your children walk the plank if they don’t clean up their rooms.
• Instruct subordinates to reply ‘Aye, Aye, Cap’n’ to anything you ask them to do.
• Strap a toy parrot to your shoulder and walk around saying ‘Arrr’ alot.
• Have a few drinks (rum of course) and share some pirate shanties with some friends (caution: the best shanties are decidedly salacious, so warn the neighbours).
• Learn the hornpipe (both the dance and the instrument)
• Put your friends in the scuppers with a hosepipe on ‘em. Fun for the whole family!
Arrr!
