Today be National Talk Like a Pirate Day. And since me Somali be a bit rusty, I will do me best to imitate that immortal actor what's his name from the movie Treasure Island.So riddle me this. All over this great continent of ours, white collar workers will be talkin' like pegged-legged parrot-bearing old salts like meself. What do ye think about these kinds of "let's have fun at th' corporation" holidays? Be they real? Or be they just a distraction from th' awful truth?Ye get extra points fer talkin' like a pirate.Shiver me post-modern timbers!
