Because They Arrgh Pirate Joke Card

Why are pirates called pirates? Because they arrgh. It is a terrible joke, which is precisely why this card deserves to exist. A cheerful illustrated pirate dog, complete with skull-and-crossbones hat and a wonderfully scruffy grin, delivers nautical nonsense with maximum confidence.

This all-occasion card works for birthdays, pirate fans, children, grown-ups and anyone who appreciates humour that arrives wearing an eyepatch. It is also a fine choice for Talk Like a Pirate Day, should your household observe such important occasions. The inside is blank for birthday wishes, treasure-map instructions or another joke of equally questionable quality.

Measuring approximately 148 × 148mm, the square card is printed on 350gsm white silk cardstock and supplied with a kraft envelope. The pirate character was illustrated by Richard Darani, and the card is printed in the UK. Send it to your favourite matey and prepare for an affectionate groan. Parrot participation is entirely optional.
