Pirate and Lost Body Parts

A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and talk turns to their adventures on the sea. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, an hook, and an eye patch. The seaman asks, „So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?“The pirate replies „We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept over board into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off.““Wow!“ said the seaman. „What about your hook“?“Well…“, replied the pirate, „We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords when one of the enemy cut my hand off.““Incredible!“ remarked the seaman. „How did you get the eye patch“?“A seagull dropping fell into my eye.“, replied the pirate.“You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?“ the sailor asked increduously.“Well…“, said the pirate, „..it was also my first day with the hook.“
