Yo ho ho, shipmates! There be poirates..Ah-harrr! There be treasure far beyond the grip of Davy Jones's locker...Ah-harrr! There be rum, and ship's rations, and tea and fairy cakes...Ah-har- WHAT?
Mrs Doyle! What self-respecting pirate crew messes around with tea and fairy cakes???
THIS pirate crew, that's what! Anything has got to be better than Igor and Chef's creation, stuffed roasted seagulls with a tasty seaweed and barnacle coulis.......
Captain marmite, we will have to have a full crew briefing on dress code. Hubert cannot be allowed to wear stilettos on deck, they will ruin the wood......One life - your life - live it!0 -

Roll up! Roll up! Enlisting now for the pirate ship Swobzedex! There be dubloons, diamonds and pieces of six! (What do you mean, Igor, it should be pieces of eight? I am talking net, not gross! The 25% cut for the Nargle slush fund, of course! )
We have Swedish Chef as ship's cook, Mrs Doyle as ship's medical officer (there's nothing can't be cured with a strong cup of tea and a plateful of egg sarnies), Hubert as ship's donkey (other pirate ships have a monkey up the mast, we have a donkey), Igor as Fourth Mate and Chief Deck Swabber, Helga and Olga as pirate wenches dispensing the grog......all we need are a motley crew of shipmateys all ready to search for the treasure and collect a few NSDs along the way......we set sail at the crack of sparrers on Thursday so bring your hats, your hooks and your peglegs and let's go-ho-ho with a yo-ho-ho!
(Igor, what is that white streak down your shirt? Oh, you couldn't find a parrot because Chef had stuffed it in a kebab...So you used an albatross....go and have a shower, Igor.....)One life - your life - live it!0
