The DO’s and DON’Ts of Talk Like a Pirate Day

Ahoy me hearties! Talk Like a Pirate Day is upon us!

DO talk like a pirate during your company’s staff meeting.

DON’T ask your boss if you can touch their “booty.” This will only lead to strongly worded emails from HR.

DO sentence as many friends as you can to “walk the plank!”

DON’T actually make them walk a plank. Their insurance won’t cover the injuries, and the police won’t believe you were just “getting into character.”

DO buy a round of grog for all ye maties!

DON’T try to pay the tab with doubloons.

DO use your pirate swagger to snag the attention of your crush.

DON’T ask to motorboat her “treasure chest.”

And finally,

DO end the night with ideas of how to make next year’s Talk Like a Pirate Day even better.

DON’T instagram a picture of your empty bed with the caption “Prepare to be boarded. Arrr.” It’s just more sad than clever.
