• What has 8 arms and 8 legs? Eight pirates! How much does it cost a pirate to get a piercing? A buck an ear! What did Captain Hook die from? Jock Itch. So these pirates are gonna go ashore and pillage a village in the Spanish Main, right? The pirate captain is briefing his scurvy crew before jumping aboard the boats. "AAAAARRR! Listen up ye filthy sea dogs! This 'ere be the way it goes: Once we get ashore, we kill all the women, and rape all the men!!" There is a pause, and the Second Mate pipes up: "Er, don't you mean, kill all the men, and rape all the women?" The captain gives him a twinkling look with his one good eye and says "You do it your way, I do it mine!!!"

• "Fifteen men on the Dead Man's Chest -- Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest, Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!" The mate was fixed by the bos'n's pike, The bos'n brained with a marlinspike, And Cookey's throat was marked belike; It has been gripped By fingers ten And there they lay, All good dead men Like break-o-day in a boozing ken -- Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum! Fifteen men of the whole ship's list -- Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum! Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist! -- Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum! The skipper lay with his knob in gore Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore -- And the scullion he was stabbed times four. And there they lay And the soggy skies Dripped all day long In upstaring eyes -- In murk sunset and at foul sunrise -- Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum! Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark, Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum! Ten of the crew had the Murder mark -- Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum! 'Twas a cutless swipe or an ounce of lead Or a yawning hole in a battered head -- And the scupper's glut with a rotting red And there they lay -- Aye, damn my eyes -- All lookouts clapped on paradise -- All souls bound just contrariwise -- Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum! -- opening stanzas of "Derelict" by Young E. Allison, the whole poem may be found here.
• What does a pirate general keep up his sleevies? His ARRRRRRRRRMIES!
• I really don't use words like 'avast' or 'scurvy' well enough.
• Ninja pirates? That's an unbeatable combination!
• Pirate song.
• One leg is peg, one hand is hook, we wears a patch -- one eye is out -- we can hardly read a chart, let alone a book, we drinks too much, could drink a waterspout. In our ears we wear a golden ring, and swear and curse like anything. Avast, belay, ye louts land-lubberly! We lets our whiskers grow lest they be stubberly!

• A couple of years ago at Burning Man, one of my campmates turns up dressed as a pirate complete with huge steering wheel attached to his pants. It was hilarious to watch him roam around the city educating the last 5 people who haven't heard "arr, it's driving me nuts" before.
