BANK STROKE PIRATES

To the bank, where I am undertaking an overly complex financial transaction.

"How would you like your money?" asks the teller.

I look at her name badge. It reads "Phyllis Blackbeard".

I dare not say anything. She has obviously heard every pirate related gag before, and then some. Do not say a thing. Just be sensible for once in your life.

"How would you like your money?" asked Mrs Blackbeard, the scourge of the overdrawn.

"Dubloons."

"Heard it."
