Avast, me proud beauty! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr you free on Saturday? Shiver me timbers! That’s some treasure chest you’ve got there. Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly? I’d love to drop anchor in your lagoon. How’d you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder? That’s the finest pirate booty I’ve ever laid eyes on. Thar she blows!
Are you sick of those tiring pirate pick-up lines? Well ladies, rest assured, you can travel the subways safe in Japan now that anyone acting like a drunk pirate will be made to walk the plank.
Another case of semiotics gone wild in Japan.
