35 - 49: Firs' Mate - Yer certainly be a pirate, but perhaps yer need a bit more o'the booty! (Peg legs be goin' cheap at the Salvation Army, if yer not in the mood fer plunderin'). Or perhaps it be sufficient for ye ter be a Pirate in Spirit.

*Cap'n Llewellyn o'the stinkin' ship Kambala be makin' some scurvy whinin' sounds...
"I been readin your quiz, 'Be Ye a Pirate'. You give more points for bein able ta swim than for not. Surprisingly, in the time o pirates (1600-1700s) sailors were a superstitious lot and it was thought bad luck to have someone aboard who could swim. Temptin' fate, like, that they would come to need their skill at some point. Sailors hated the water without they had a bark to sail in. Arr harr. Now I be correctin yr web page. Arr harrrrrrrrrrr."

Be that as it may, I be a pirate and there be no place fer pedantry on me ship. Llwellyn be currently chained up ter the waist in t'most stinkin', festering bilgewater on me ship. Arr HARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
