Looking for some pirate jokes and stories I can tell to kids at a pirate party. Got any good ones?

By the way I aready have the following:

A pirate is standing at the bar and he really looks the part. He has a wooden peg leg, a hook for a hand, and an eye patch. A local strolls up and asks, "How'd you lose your leg?"

"Argh, t'was a cannon ball took off me leg in a fight off the island of Santa Domingo."

"Wow, and how did you lose your hand?"

"Argh, t'was a cutlass swip in a fight off the coast of Madagascar."

"Oh, and what about your eye?"

"Seagull poop!"

"What!?! Seagull poop can do that?"

"Well, it was the first day with me hook."

My other pirate joke is not appropriate for children.

Yo Ho!

So a French pirate walks into a tavern with a brightly colored parrot on his shoulder. The bartender looks at it and exclaims, "Wow! Now that's something! Where'd ye get it?"

The parrot speaks up. "Awwwwck, they've got plenty of them in France!"


Q: How much does it cost a pirate to get his ears pierced?
A: A buck an ear!

One morning, Mrs. James woke up and her dishwasher wasn't working. She called a repairman and he said that he would be able to come out and service the dishwasher that afternoon.

Since Mrs. James worked during the day, she said, "You can come out this afternoon but I won't be at home. I'll leave a key under the back door mat, you fix the dishwasher and leave me a bill. I'll mail you a check tomorrow. I need to tell you, though, that I have a Pit Bull. He's a gentle dog so don't worry about him. I also have a parrot. He's not so nice, so whatever you do, DON'T TALK TO THE PARROT!!"

Later that day, the repairman let himself into Mrs. James house and sure enough, there was her Pit Bull. He was a gentle dog . . he just lay on the rug and watched the repairman do his work.

The parrot, however, was another story. He screamed, and squawked, and lunged at the repairman the entire time he was in the house.

Finally the repairman couldn't take the bird's screaming any longer and he yelled, "SHUT UP YOU STUPID BIRD."

At that, the parrot looked at the Pit Bull and said "Sic 'em, Brutus."

A fierce-looking pirate walks into a bar. He's grizzled, and muscled, and tattooed all over, with scars on his face and a wicked-looking knife clenched between his teeth. As he swaggers up to the bar, the folks sitting around drinking can't help but notice that the pirate has a full-size ship's steering wheel sticking out from the crotch of his britches. As the pirate sits himself down at the bar, the other patrons keep glancing at him, then cutting their eyes toward each other. Finally, after the pirate had been peaceably drinking for fifteen or twenty minutes, one of the locals gets up the courage to approch him.

"Pardon me," he says, "but I couldn't help wondering about the ship's steering wheel sticking out of your pants."

"Aaaargh, I know!" cried the pirate. "It's driving me nuts!"

Well, maybe if the kids are in their 20's or so...

Not really a pirate joke but thrown into the pot fer fun Mates... An old sailor after many years of service on the North Atlantic was finally going to retire and live at the Seamans Mission. As he was paying off in Liverpool the Customs and Excise officers informed him that the Parrot he kept as a pet for many years could not be landed in england due to strict quarantine regulations. After discussing options the poor sailor finally agreed that it would be best to put the parrot down. The parrot was listening to these proceedings and was distinctly pissed off. Being a seafaring parrot he had a sailors vocabulary, and was swearing away when the Customs official tried to pick up his cage. He bit a chunk out of one finger. Out of sight of the old sailor (who was very fond of his pet)the Customs Officer said "right you little bastard see how you like this" He stuffed the parrot into a burlap sack, tied the string top and started whacking it against a steel door. He then submerged the bag in a 45 gallon drum of water and held it there for several minutes... Hauling up the bag he said "how did you like that you little bastard"? the parrot was heard to reply "who the fuck is on the wheel"?

Hey Brett......How about a story of a modern day pirate of sorts? This guy worked the trains and it has all the elements, including a crew and the fact that this guy was hard to get rid of! Plus, part of it's on Halloween!

One of the last and most bizarre executions here in Ohio before they stopped the death penalty (it's on again now) was actually held on Halloween in 1953 at the Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus. Frank Howard had been an employee of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for almost 25 years. He had started out as flagman on freight trains and eventually worked his way up through the ranks to become the conductor on one of the B&O's most prestigious passenger trains, the Cumberland Valley Limited.

After a few years on that run he had come up with a small gang of porters and baggagemen to aid in his scheme which involved the theft of specific items of value from the rooms and luggage of wealthier passengers. He had this carefully crafted so as not to be blatantly noticeable, ie, they never took entire cases or anything that would lead anyone to believe they had been robbed, but rather had perhaps misplaced or lost a particular item....or left it at home. Being the conductor on the train, Howard would listen to the passengers and generally be able to convince them that a report wasn't needed and on the few occasions it was, the railroad saw no problem. Things were reported missing on trains all the time.

It worked pretty well and wasn't a huge moneymaker, but it effectively doubled the salries of all involved with a few extra bucks for Howard, over and above his share. This became apparent to one of his henchman named Washington who confronted Howard on it. Howard was a man with a hot temper and perhaps Washington was cowed by the rage. In any case, he backed down and came up with a new plan. Washington decided he'd do a little freelancing. This of course blew the whole carefully done scheme of Frank Howard and he walked into the station in Columbus and in full view of a hundred people, shot Washington dead.

Howard claimed that Washington was a thief and escaping which sounded good, but before too long, Howard's other men began to talk and the whole thing was exposed. Howard was arrested, charged, and convicted of first degree murder along with the assorted thefts. He received the death sentence and after all of the appeals had been exhausted, he was scheduled for execution in the electric chair for October 31, 1953.

He was strapped in and shaved, wet-down and hooked up. At the appointed time the switch was pulled and Howard's body became rigid and then trembled violently. After 20 seconds the switch was turned off but Howard was still alive. After a brief conference it was decided to increase the voltage and time. First they checked the equipment which seemed to be functioning. This done, after 45 seconds and smoke coming from his body, Howard was found to still be alive! Once again they upped both voltage and time, but again the result was a living and breathing Frank Howard.

At this point, the priest, the warden, and the doctor decided that the humane thing to do was to give him an injection. The only thing the doctor had was morphine with which they overdosed him and 20 minutes later he was declared legally dead. After removing the body they went through another series of tests on the chair and the wiring and once again found that everything was in working order and should have killed Howard in the first 20 seconds. No one knew why it didn't work, but they surmised the problem was that Frank Howard was simply a bad conductor.

And of course theres the tale of a bold pirate captain, who, just prior to sailing into battle, or when raiding a merchant ship, would shout "Cabin boy, bring me my scarlet coat," which the cabin boy dutifully did.

After seeing this happen several times, a new second officer finally plucked up the courage to ask of the captain why he always called for the scarlet coat.

Well, the captain explained, if it should so happen that I became wounded, the color of the coat would mask any blood, and my men would not lose courage at the sight of my gore. Just then the lookout shouted down from the mast, "Captain, the whole British fleet is bearing down upon us and it looks like they mean business"

The captain hesitated for a moment and then loudly shouted, "Cabin boy, bring me my brown trousers!"

Nice story but the Pugwash story may be hogwash. It is said that there are no recordings with said characters in the story (if any recordings). The myth might be true (?) if the unrecorded episodes were the first few and the BBC realised they had been had But in such cases the scripts would have had to be filed. Apparently there was a character called Blake or somesuch hence the myth.

At a Morris Ale in 1990, I watched a really bad pirate skit done by the Hearrrrrts of Oak. It was so bad that it was great and left everybody for the rest of the evening and the last day of the Ale continuing to add joke lines. Since you are doing a concert, a skit-like thing might work well. Use 4 to 8 people who like to ham it up extemporaneously. Essentially no rehearsal required, but some simple pirate suggestive bandana's or other pirate paraphanalia, especially hand props are useful. Here is the routine:

The pirates are all up on stages slowly meandering or standing saying "Arrrr", "Arrrr, Arrrr", "Arrrr", ad infinitum. Finally one of the slowly gets the others attention much to their disgust and asks, "What kind of stockings do Pirates wear when they storm a ship? The others all keep saying arrr in a questioning manner and perhaps their are some bad answers such as "Nylons" to which they all start snarling, arrr in disgust with the inference. Finally someone offers the correct answer "Arrrrrgyle" to which all the others arrr in approval or more disgust at the bad joke. This can go on with such things as arrrrrrtichokes, arrrrrrrthritis, or anything else that is inspired by the evening. If they are singers, you might climax it with having them sing some old pseudo pirate song in "Arrrrrrrrrrmony." This is also one for arrrrrrrrrdience involvement who can easily relate to the blatantly simple routine. The whole thing carries itself with little prepartion. Planning the climax and ending is the only thing that needs some good thought. Arrrrrrrrdapt to your setting, it's very varrrrrrrrsitile.

My kids like this joke. Pirate goes into a bar and says me parrot can sing. I pull his left leg, he sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, I pull his right leg he sings Appy Birthday. And sure enough, the parrot does it. Someone asks What happens if you pull both his legs? and the parrot says I fall off my perch you idiot.

A pirate has a peg-leg, a hook, an eyepatch, but what bothers him is one day he notices he has a screw in his bellybutton. He goes to the doctor, the doctor gets out a screwdriver, and takes the screw out. Then the pirate's butt falls off.

I used to say that if a pirate came to my mother-in-laws house with his peg-leg, she'd put a coaster under him.

There was this Irish privateer. One day, the lookout cried, "Captain, ship ahoy". The skipper calmly turns to his crew and says, "Lads, prepare to engage. Man your stations, charge the weapons, set the rigging for battle". Then he turns to the cabin boy and says, "Lad, bring me my red shirt", which he donned, and then directed the successful battle and capture of the other vessel. He fought with great skill and courage and the plunder was rich. A few days later, they were sailing and the lookout cries, "Captain, three ships ahoy". The skipper calmly turns to his crew and says, "Lads, prepare to engage. Man your stations, charge the weapons, set the rigging for battle". Then he turns to the cabin boy and says, "Lad, bring me my red shirt", which he donned, and into the battle they went. The skipper was brilliant, maneuvering the fast ship and accurately placing the shot to take out the masts of the other ships. In battle he was fierce, almost a lunatic. In the end the day was won, the plunder rich, and the ship returned to port loaded with spoils. One of the sailors, a new fella, asked the Captain, "Why the red shirt?". The Captain replied, "So that if I am wounded in battle, my men won't be able to see that I am bleeding and lose heart". "Brilliant" says the seaman. A few weeks later, the ship is underway once more when the call comes from the crow's nest, "Captain, 10 ships on the horizon". The skipper calmly turns to his crew and says, "Lads, prepare to engage. Man your stations, charge the weapons, set the rigging for battle". Then he turns to the cabin boy and says, "Lad, bring me my brown pants".

John Paul Jones was a privateer.

Just check this info from: http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq58-1.htm

"In December 1775 John Paul Jones received his lieutenant's commission from the Continental Congress for its navy."

"Most general histories of the Navy focus on his seamanship and courage when in danger but not on his character. These honorable portrayals of Jones contrast with images of piracy presented by the British. Rudyard Kipling, for example, refers to the "exploits" of Jones, "an American Pirate." Sir Winston Churchill calls him a "privateer" and even Theodore Roosevelt mentions him as a "daring corsair." Jones, of course, neither held a privateering commission nor was engaged in piracy, the realization of which might be what prompted someone on one occasion to cross out the British Library catalogue entry for John Paul Jones as "the Pirate," and substitute "Admiral in the Russian Navy." In modern terms John Paul Jones indulged in questionable behavior, since his popularity with women led him to having many lovers. Furthermore, he failed to be a good team player, spurning the naval efforts of others as inadequate compared with his own brilliant accomplishments."

"After the Revolutionary War, Commodore John Paul Jones was active in negotiating prize money claims in Paris. In 1788 he entered the service of the Empress Catherine the Great of Russia as a rear admiral. He hoped that command of a battle fleet in Russia would qualify him for higher command if and when the United States built a permanent Navy."

He was a commissioned officer of the U.S. Navy. Any attacks on British ships were done under a flag of war.

There's a silly pirate story that I wrote and posted on the Mudcat Story Tellers' Page called The One What Bitsed Me Washboard's Leg Off. It's a long winded little illiterate alliteration suitable for listeners of all ages and should be recited using your best pirate voice, Arr! You can find it via Aine's Mudcat Songbook Page in the quick links box at the top right corner of the main forum page.

My kids liked a kid version of a previous joke. A man has a pirate squirel living in his backyard and everyday asks him what he's doing. "I'm gathering me nuts for the winter." Next day "Aye, I'm putting me nuts in me tree for the winter."

One day the man looks out and sees a ship's wheel sticking out of the pirate squirel's tree hole, and says "pirate squirel--is that a ship's wheel stuck in your door there?" The squirel says "Aye, it's driving me nuts."

They get the joke but seem to enjoy the idea of a pirate squirel more than the punch-line.

A pirate with a wooden leg, hook and eye patch goes into a bar on the quayside. After a few drinks he getting chatting to the barman.

"You look as though you've seen some action" said the barman. "How did to get the wooden leg?". "A cannonball blew it clean away" said the pirate. "And the hook?" asked the barman. "Cutlass fight, in a bar just like this one" was the reply. "What about the patch then?" "Aaargh" said the pirate, "A seagull shit in it". "You're winding me up" said the barman. "You cannot lose your eye if a seagull shits in it!".
"Yes you can lad, yes you can" said the the pirate wiping the patch with the hook.

I'll get my coat.............

Why a Pirate would be a lousy Santa

Because he would always say "Ho Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum"

A pirate walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender asks, "Where'd you get that?"
And the parrot answers, "On the high seas."
