The Pirate Who Went To Hell And Back

"I can't believe you did it, Captain,"  the pirate said to his Captain.

"Yes, " the Captain smiled, "I've been to Hell and back. And I've taken Hades' plunder."

The pirate crew buried the chest.

"When will we come back for this, Captain?" the crew asked.

"It will be a while," the Captain smiled.

As the crew approached the beach, one of the pirates shouted, "By Hades' beard, it's the Royal Navy."

"Who the Hell alerted the Royal Navy of our whereabouts," the pirate lieutenant shouted, "Captain, who do you suppose..."

He looked around but the Captain was gone.

On one of the high-hills overlooking the beach, the Captain said, "I'm afraid it was me, me laddies. I don't intend to share my treasure."

He drank a bottle of rum as the Royal Navy mowed down his mates with their muskets.

The pirate captain walked over to where the big rock was, "Well, I certainly hope the calculations in this book are correct and the space-time wormhole will open up over here."

He walked to the spot.

"Year 2012, here I come," the pirate captain said, "Boy, I'm starting to feel hungry. I hope they still know how to cook a good lobster in 300 years' time."

Michelangelo the genetically created Psychic Lobster screamed inside his tank in the Set Enterprises Laboratory near London, England.

The technician looked at the computer screen whose cable cord was attached to Michelangelo's antenna.

What Michelangelo was seeing in his mind could be viewed on the computer screen.

The technician picked up the phone to call a number in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, "The Boss' chief Intelligence operative Renfield is going to have to hear about this."
