Johnny Depp will swagger again this weekend as Captain Jack Sparrow in the next installment of Pirates of the Caribbean. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I am thoroughly addicted to this franchise. I even have a Jack Sparrow poster in my office at work! In honor of my favorite buccaneer, here are thirteen reasons to love a pirate:
1. Pirates never have to get leave approved to take a vacation. They can take off anytime they want!
2. You never have to worry about a pirate having a midlife crisis and running off to sail the world.
3. All that swashbuckling is great for a buff upper body.
4. Sword fighting is great for the buns – think of all those lunges!
5. Pirates always have sexy stubble at a perfect length.
6. Pirates can hold their liquor. No self-respecting pirate drinks a few ales and winds up snoring on the couch.
7. Pirates really know what to do with their swords…get your minds out the gutter, folks!
8. Pirates know how to sweep a girl off her feet…often in the most literal sense!
9. A pirate knows his way around with only the stars and a compass to guide him…no annoying “Tom Tom” voice bossing him around.
10. No self-respecting pirate would give his woman a vacuum for her birthday.
11. Pirates look great in leather.
12. Pirates never choose mowing the lawn over ravishing their women.
13. Last, but not least, have I mentioned Johnny Depp?
