After many years at sea, a pirate decided to
retire. Since he had suffered injuries on
the job, he thought that he should collect
on his worker's compensation insurance. He
had a wooden leg, a hook where his right hand
should be and a patch over his right eye. The
agent assured him that he would be compensated
if the injuries were work related.

"How did you get the wooden leg?" asked the
agent.

In a booming voice the pirate replied, "Me and
me mates were on the high seas when the boom
swang 'round and knocked me into the sea where
a shark bit off me leg."

The agent replied, "That is certainly work
related. How did you lose your hand?"

"Well matey, me and me mates were on the high
seas when the boom swang 'round and knocked me
into the sea where a shark bit off me hand,"
said the pirate.

"That's also work related. Now how did you lose
your eye?" asked the agent.

The pirate replied, "Well matey, I was laying
on the deck one balmy day catching some rays
when this seagull flew by and dropped his duty
right in me eye!"

"What does that have to do with the loss of
your eye?" said the agent.

"It were the first day with me hook!"
