    My son has a children’s book with the line “Pirates always pay their share”. Literally the opposite of what pirates do, drives me nuts.

    I love you Neil Gaiman, but you’re better than that.

      Just because they’re pirate doesn’t mean they don’t believe in sharing.

          A lot of pirate ships sailed under ‘the articles’ which guaranteed a full share for every crewman, a share and a half for officers and two shares for the captain.
