In honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day

from my time in the Navy. A few "select" squids will recognize this:

Q. "How long have you been in the Navy?"

A. "All me blooming life sir! Me mother was a Mermaid and me
father was King Neptune! I was spawned in the belly of the deep
and rocked in the cradle of a wave. Barnicles and kelp is me clothes.
Seaweed is me hair!

Every tooth in me head is a Marlin Spike!
Every bone in me body a pure spar!
When I spits, I spits tar,
I am tough, I am, I is, I are!"
