A man is visiting the city of Vancouver and goes down to the shore.
There he see's an old salt sitting on a log. He has a peg leg, hook for a hand and a patch over his eye. The visitor thinks this guy might have an interesting story to tell, so asks him how he got the peg leg? The old salt answers that one-day at sea in the Caribbean he fell overboard and a shark came and bit part of my leg off.
The visitor then asks about his hook and the salt says that on another trip to the Caribbean when the yardarm came down and knocked him overboard. Another shark came along and bit his hand off.
When asked about the patch over his eye, he replied, I was in Vancouver looking up at the sky when a seagull went to the bathroom in my eye.
The visitor asked that surely doesn't blind a man, the old salt says That's true but it was the first day with the hook.
