The Pirates Workplace Agreement
Real pirates must have chest hair. If you cannot grow chest hair, you may be a cabin boy.
Two pirates must never share a bed or a hammock. It is perfectly acceptable for one pirate to sleep on the ships deck, or on a pile of treasure.
No pirate shall drink Grog out of a glass. Grog is only to be consumed either straight from the barrel, or from a mug heavy enough to kill a man.
Parrots are the preferred pirate companion. Monkeys are an acceptable substitute, unless they fling their feces at people. Then they are an awesome substitute.
                                                                                                                               
A pirate may never compliment another pirate on the softness of his hands.
                               
A pirate does not use the word "Fabulous". Ever.      
When setting out on a voyage, a pirate does not pack a suitcase. He is only to bring what he can carry under his arms, or what his wench can carry on her back.
No pirate will ever, ever raise his pinky when drinking any sort of beverage.    
A pirate should always remove his hat in the presence of a bartender.
Pirates do not clean up, except when gold falls out of a treasure chest.
Cannoneers aboard a pirate vessel are not allowed to use hearing protection of any sort. No matter what the OSHA regulations say, if ye can't stand bleedin' from the ears, you have no business being a Pirate.
Hooks are the only acceptable hand substitute. However, they may not have secondary attachments such as screwdrivers, bottle openers, corkscrews, or nail files. These are Pirates we're talking about, not Inspector Gadget.
When drinking rum, the only thing a pirate can add to the rum is more rum.
Under no circumstances does a pirate speak or have any contact with a Ninja or a Viking, unless he first decapitates that Ninja or Viking and uses his head like a sock puppet.
A pirate may tell any tale of swashbuckling without being called on the details, as long as at least 51% of the story is true.
 
Pirates do not "IM". The only instant message allowed is a sword through the chest.
 
Three-cornered hats, headbands and bandanas are the only acceptable headwear for pirates. Fedoras, bowler derbies, baseball caps, mickey ears, top hats, sombreros, or anything with lace and flowers will be removed from the vessel-- head included.
Only a pirate is capable of killing another pirate. If you are not a pirate (let's say a ninja or a Viking) and wish to challenge a pirate, they have a word for that. Corpse
A Pirate shall not pay more than a Buck-an-ear to get his ears pierced.
A Pirate never wears a dinger - Rubbers are for landlubbers.
If circumstances demand a career change, a move into real estate or lawyering shall be considered a lateral move and said individual may keep their pirate status. An arrrrrrchitect is also acceptable.
