The first pirate was sentenced to ten years at Leavenworth.

The second pirate was sentenced to eleven years at Twelveworth.

The third pirate was sentenced to five to ten years at Woolworths.

I don't get this one. I understand that Leavenworth is a prison and Woolworth's is a store. But it still doesn't make sense to me.

Woolworths is also known as a 5 and dime store.

Yes, I should have clarified that I understand Woolworth's is a five-and-dime store. I still don't get the joke.

I hate explaiming jokes, so here is the full story: [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

This was originally a lawyer joke, not a pirate joke.

I heard it in a speech given by Supreme Court Justice Steven Breyer. He didn't get many laughs from it.

It is a terrible joke, but then "terrible...jokes" is part of the name of this thread.

It is mostly a silly play on words. (ten > eleven, eleven > twelve, followed by the 5 and dime joke)

It has no real punchline, either you chuckle at the play on words or you don't.

Now for the etymology of the joke.....

Wow. That may well be the stupidest joke I have ever heard. I chuckle at bad jokes that are silly and corny. This one was just flat out dumb.
