The Old Man And The Sea

Le conte du corsaire
                 A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and they take turns to tell their adventures on
                  the seas. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg leg, hook, and an eye
                  patch.

                  Curious, the seaman asks "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"

                  The pirate replies "I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my
                  men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off".

                  "Wow!" said the seaman. "What about the hook"?

                  "Well...", replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling
                  the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand clean off."

                  "Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "How did you get the eye patch"?

                  "A seagull dropping fell into my eye", replied the pirate.

                  "You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked.

                  "Well..." said the pirate, "That was my first day with the hook."
