Is it that time again?

I moved $5 billion from the Lehman account into the slush fund, and then from the slush fund into the AIG account. I was careful not to leave a paper trail. Then from the AIG account into my personal slush fund and from there into a numbered Swiss bank account. I'm pretty sure that it can't be traced.

I don't think puns are funny until you're about 40. Then you find yourself laughing at jokes that your parents would find funny...

I'm afraid not. I've been indoctrinated in puns since the beginning. They are all bad.

Your pirate name is:
Calico Davy Flint

Often indecisive, you can't even choose a favorite color. You're apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
Oops, oh and, Arrrrgh!

Ever hear the one about the piece of string that tried to disguise himself by tying himself into a bow and ruffling out his ends?

A pirate walks into a bar with a ships wheel attached to the front o' his trousers. The bartender asks, "What the hell is that ships wheel for?" The pirate says, "Arrrr, I don't know, but it's drivin' me nuts!"

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
