Why are pirates called pirates?
They just aaarrrr!
However in a flash of inspiration, perhaps prompted by the film, daughter number three came up with:
What is a pirate's favourite country?
Aaarrrrgentina.
This then started a flurry of nonsense. The best (and trust me, these are the best!) are reproduced below for your edification and enjoyment... well they are definately reproduced below. :-)
What is a pirate's favourite shop?
Aaarrrrgos.
Where do pirate penguins live?
The Antaaarrrrtic.
What do pirates drive?
Caaarrrs (and aaarrrrticulated lorries).
What do you call a large cohort of pirates?
Avast aaarrrrmy.
How do pirates speak?
They use the venaculaaarrrr.
Where do pirates go for fun?
The aaarrrrcade.
Who is a pirate's favourite Star Wars character?
Queen Aaarrrrmidala.
Well, it amused us. :-) Feel free to add some of your own.

Thanks for playing the game Graham.
As the first to contribute I feel you should win a prize. Can I suggest you buy yourself a Mars Bar and if I ever meet you, I'll pay you the money back. :-)
Just subscribe to my blog and I'll be happy!
You're already there... honest! I think I added your blog after you picked up a quote off my blog from George Bush via something Alan November said at the eLive conference in Edinburgh.
...So I'm still willing to buy you a Mars Bar next time I'm in Australia or you are in Scotland. :-)
"What do you call a large cohort of pirates?" Avast aaarrrrmy.
Nice -- two pirate gags for the price of one! Definitely my favourite.
Knock, knock.
Who's there?

Thank you Duncan, Glad I'm still keeping you amused.
Hello Brian
This is a variation on a joke I'd heard before, but the pirate twist is nice. Thanks for sharing. :-)
