    I advised my students of the event in class today, but there was no interest.
    Perhaps if KK had continued to commemorate the esteemed event?

    What's a pirate's favorite letter of the alphabet?

    Some would say R, but his first love be the C.

    And to balance out the pronoun in that old saw, here's the Rejected Princesses stories on Ching Shih, Anne Bonny, and Mary Read.

    No, no, no! FIRST you ask, "Did you hear about the new pirate movie?" And when they say "no," you say "It be rated RRRRR!"

    THEN you ask, "do you know a pirate's favorite letter?" When they guess, "is it RRRR?" You answer, "Aye, some would say R, but a pirate's first love be the C!"

    And THAT is how you tell pirate jokes!
