An excert from The Alphabet of Manliness (Maddox, 2006) reads like this:
"For those deficient in piratical knowledge, that is, you, here are some facts about pirates:
* The only thing that can kill a pirate is another pirate.
*Pirates drink run almost exclusively. The only exception is for an occasional ided mocha or chai tea with 2 percent milk.
* Pirates prefer BBQ- or Cajun-flavored potato chips.
*A pirate's sweat tastes like whiskey.
* Sometimes pirates kick cats just because.
* Pirates think college is a waste of time.
* Eye patche make chicks horny.
* Pirates possess parrots with eye patches and pirated prosthetic legs.
* A pirate's semen is indestructible.
* Pirates hate all forms of dancing, except for break dancing, which lumberjacks would agree is awesome.
* All pirates have hair on their backs and knuckles. Women find this intriguing.
* A pirate ejaculates fully-grown leprechauns...."
