Honorable Seafaring Merchants’ Page

This page has nothing to do with pirates. Pirates are repulsive, bloodthirsty rapscallions who cruise around in the Bahamas, in the sun and fresh air, receiving free lunches and gold and fine clothing from kindly donors on the high seas, while we’re hard at work in little 8-foot cubicles trying to pay the mortgage. Does that sounds like anything you’d want to be involved in? Of course not. Personally, our wine cellar has been occasionally infested by pirates. However, the pirexterminator has assured us that we can prevent a reinfestation by keeping all wine products somewhere other than in the wine cellar—like maybe at his house. We'll try this solution and hope for the best. - The Marquessa
