The Official CCA Bad Joke of the Day

I was at the beach the other day and saw a pirate. The odd thing was that he was wearing a paper towel on his head. I was so curious that I had to ask him about it, so I said, "Excuse me pirate, sir, but what's with the paper towel? He looked at me angrily and said, "Arrggh, there's a bounty on me head."
