Now before I really get into this sermon, I’d like all of you to repeat a few words after me. Here we go: “aaaaarrrggghh”, “shiver me timbers”, “I’ll make ye walk the plank”. Well done. You’re now fully prepared for a major event on the global calendar. Wednesday of this week is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. It’s true - the 19th of September. For the simple reason that it’s fun to call someone a scurvy rat. This important festival was started in 1995 by people with far too much time on their hands named John Baur and Mark Summers, and in the last 23 years it has gained momentum like a Spanish galleon in full sail. According to the Web site talklikeapirate.com, it has become so popular that they have issued a set of guidelines for how to celebrate the day in the workplace. For example, you need to wear red and black, and don’t be afraid to accessorize with an eye patch or a parrot.
