Dangerous Profession

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, a 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
overboard 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. One of the enemy cut my hand
off."
"Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "How did you get the eye-patch"?
"A seagull pooped in my eye," replied the pirate.
"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked
incredulously.
"Well,", said the pirate, "it was my first day with the hook."
