[Rhodes22-list] Fw: Cannon Balls

[Wally Buck]

Freezing the balls of a Brass Monkey - The Truth!

Brass Monkey was a Pirate who earned his name in the manner of Captain Hook 
(hook for hand) and Long John Silver (peg leg or whatever). In a tragic 
dueling accident the Pirate was dismembered and the ship's 
surgeon/blacksmith fashioned a replacement made of brass. Apparently they 
did not have a very secure way of securing the "Brass Monkey" and in cold 
weather this became a problem. :-)

Join my fellow members of SAUL (Sailors Against Urban Legends) tonight at 7 
PM EST as we show our unified support against Urban Legends. Please stand in 
front of your house with a lit candle and do a shot of rum! Caution – keep 
Rum away from candle! Thank you for your support.
