"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well, we were in a battle and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm perfectly fine now."
"That's good," says the bartender, "but what about that hook? What the heck happened to your hand?"

"Oh, one day we were at sea and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up and one of them birds used the bathroom right in my eye!"
"You're kidding," says the bartender, "you couldn't lose an eye just from some bird droppings, can you?"
"It was my first day with the hook."
