Don't let the title fool you. It's not a religious article.

I like underdogs. You get really high on the swing that way.

Religious? I thought it was about canine superheroes.

When headlines in this world all read
Of those whose hearts are filled with greed
To right them all with blinding speed
Goes UNDERDOG! (underdog!) UNDERDOG! (underdog!)
Speed of lightning, pow'r of thunder
Righting all who rob or plunder
UNDERDOG! (woo-oo-ooo-oooo underdog!)

So, this pirate walks into a bar. He's got a peg-leg, hook, and an eye-patch. One of the other sailors in the bar notices him and says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened to you?"

The pirate says, "Well, I lost me leg in a storm at sea. The mast broke and fell on my leg and crushed it. They had to put this peg on there instead."

The sailor says, "That's horrible. Did you lose your hand during the same storm?"

The pirate replies, "No, I was pulling up a fishing net and there was a shark stuck in it. While trying to kill it and get it out of the net, it lurched and bit me hand off and they gave me this hook."

The sailor says, "I'm sorry. What about your eye?"

The pirate says, "A seagull crapped in it."

The sailor says, "You lost your eye to bird crap?"

The pirate sighs, "It was the first day I had the hook.
