lol

We 'pprecinate tha advice thurr. :) ;)

I hate to quote myself, but...I bounced the question off a couple of friends and here's what I have.

Now the pleasures of the harbor (the boat/woman is now being skippered by another, and the narrator is ashore)

Don't include a lady barber (??)

If it wasn't for Long John Silver (a fictional character who spawned the sterotypical image of a nefarious sailor with a peg-leg and a parrot perched upon his shoulder)

All of us pirates would've been martyrs (the rest of us scoundrels would be commiserated with)

Plausible ?

Re: lady barbers - may be a reference to females offering other services besides a close shave. Here's a clipping from 1947, Los Angeles:

An undercover vice investigation went badly wrong when "lady barber" Mary Fisher fled her shop at 451 S. Main St. clutching a fistful of hair. Police Officer Cook, investigating whether Fisher was offering haircuts and massages as a front for illegal activities, arranged for the full treatment: shave, massage, shoe shine and anything else.

According to The Times, Fisher put steamed towels on Cook's face, had given him a facial massage and started shaving him when she straightened his hair, only to have his toupee come off in her hand.

The woman gave one look at the handful of hair sticking to her hand and another at the bald head of her customer and, with a shriek, she dashed for the stairs, The Times says.

"Hey," yelled Cook, "give me that hair. I need it!"

Possibly a variant of "massage" parlors?

One thing I don't get though.

"If it wasn't for Long John Silver

What did Long John Silver do? Did he save them from being martyrs or something? :confused:
