My pirate name is Iron Anne Bonney.
Arrr!
(Yes, I am packing. Shut up.)
Posted by Andrea Harris at July 19, 2003 11:15 AMMy brain first interpreted that "Yes, I am packing" as "yes, I am packing heat". And I furrowed my brow trying to get the joke. (Wouldn't Anne Bonney be "packing cutlass" or something?)
Strange how brains work. Carry on.
