'Twill be TLAP day, then, won't it?

The average man will bristle if you say his father was dishonest, but he will brag a little if he discovers that his great-grandfather was a pirate.

I don't believe that Sir Harry Morgan, Knight, would have ever said "ARRR"! Certainly he sacked Panama, but he was properly commissioned by the Crown. He was also acting Governor of Jamaica for a while, wrote a book, and died in his bed as a retired gentleman. He refuted a book that libeled his book, and actually got the publisher to withdraw it, no mean feat in those days.

Pass the crystal decanter of rum, please. 21-year-old Appleton will do. I prefer to eschew "spiced" swill with a caricature of Sir Henry on its label.

I will repeat what I have said elsewhere. Highwaymen are far cooler than pirates any day.
