I can honestly say I have yet to be chatted up using any of those chat up lines, ever. By either sex. Or even a parrot.

Arrrr! That's because ye not be a pirate, TRT!

I be the proud owner of two (2) bosun's whistles, Ricardipirate. Booty from that Old Salt, me father. He couldn't half play 'em but never taught me the knack before he headed for Davy Jones' Locker. Arrrrr....

And same pirate time, same pirate channel.

Ye got the words, Kat, me lass, but ye ain't got the music. Better luck next year.

P.S. - AAAAARRRR!!!!!
