Were you a pirate, with all the scoundrel behaviour of piracy, would you die leaving a map with where your treasure is buried? Or would you leave many inaccurate maps?
Seeing as this is a hypothetical question I'm sorry I wouldn't bother. A buried game of Cluedo does spring to mind though. .
As an aside I read recently that if Jeff Bezos gave everyone in the world £100k he’d end world poverty and still make it all back in five years. It’s his PIN number I want to find matey!
I would like to lead the HMRC a dance to the wrong place X bank ac finds you nothing Ah ah ahh Nothing in there , or there You are looking in the wrong place and you are unable to look in there either it’s too late anyway Agencia Tributaria have beaten you to it
I would also try not to loose my leg too Thursday Not clunking Friday not clunking Saturday not Clunking Sunday not Clunking and sit down with some Lemon juice and keep my gold fillings in place whilst trimming my Black beard .
A black beard does not maketh the pirate. It’s a peg leg or an eye patch. If you are gong with no peg leg to partake in such activities as the pirate 5 a side league I’d like to pony out that a missing eye plays merry hell with your depth perception. Its a poor league.
I'm with @Faust .... I'll have spent all the money from the treasure on prosthetic limbs, eye surgery, dental work, and parrot food. Maybe do up the galleon, and get a nice crew to sail me around the Caribbean, mind...
Not to mention its taken years to carve those wooden legs only to find that they are infested with death watch beetle and woodworm Arrrr no!
Would you not find it hard to fight those pirate urges? I suspect you’d only need to see one parrot and you’d be off in a fit of scoundrel and bounder frenzy ruining the teak veneer deck you’d pimped the galleon out with having hacked your carbon blades with a cutlas to appear rustic? Pirating is in the blood!
Fair point, I admit I would find it hard to give up the big gold hoopy earrings.... and if one of those Caribbean parrots happened to land on my shoulder, the urge might be too much. One last pillage before I die? I certainly would have to have some fun hiding the spoils of my last pirate caper.... something akin to the crystal maze, with lots of dead ends and red herrings. I think I would need to maybe place an announcement in the most popular pirate periodical though, just so I could enjoy watching my pirating peers scouring the world in search of my final treasure, before I died.
My great great grandad was a pirate. He said when they left Bristol docks and sailed down the river along past the crowds the captain would ask them to count all the people waving and laughing and report back to him! He was logging the smiles to the galleon!
My aunt traced our family tree back a couple of centuries - quite difficult in parts of Ireland as a major fire destroyed thousands of records in 1922. We have some smugglers for ancestors, does that count? Leaving a map and some terrible clues sounds like fun. Keep the money grabbing relatives busy for a while. Not that I have that much money and all of it would go to Heather and Kim.
