Pirate joke swiped from some guy on twitter; A pirate walks into a bar with a paper towel instead of the usual scarf, wrapped around his skull. He sits down at the bar and orders some dirty rum. The bartender asks, "Why are you wearing a paper towel?" "Arrr..." says the pirate. "I've got a bounty on me head!"
