Or it could be simply that pirates are naturally a considerate and sympathetic bunch who wouldn’t poke fun at someone’s uniqueness.

They dropped size references from the hook-handed midget’s name after he demonstrated his hook’s convenient height for kiwi-picking, if you get my drift.

Unfortunately, he’s just known as “Ironhand.” Not even “Li’l Ironhand,” just “Ironhand.”

A dwarf pirate with a hook for a hand? Would that be Short Tom Copper?
Puny Pete Platinum?
Zack “The Shrink” Zinc?
Mini Max Magnesium?
Diminutive Dan Alloy?

“And she’s trying to get Silver to give up rum”

Well, what do you expect from a woman named “Purity”.
BTW… “Purity”? The hell?? Anyone that names their daughter “Purity” or “Chastity” (and even “Temperance” is pushing it) deserves to have a daughter that grows up to be a hooker and/or porn star…

Well, we can’t very well call it Hook, now can we?
