Arrr, it’s Talk Like A Pirate Day. It is the day I usually never remember until it is days, weeks or months too late.
Once I did remember that September 19 was Talk Like A Pirate Day. I had to fly to El Paso on business and I had harbored thoughts about wearing a pirate’s hat and an eye patch. However, thinking about it was all I did because people don’t seem to have much of a sense of humor when it comes to flying these days. I probably would have been strip searched (ostensibly so the TSA could look at my peg leg, arrr!)
Anyway, if you see someone talking like a pirate today, greet him or her with a robust “ahoy.” Or, at least tell that person to have a nice pirate day.
