Mishap at the Registry of Legality

All I wanted to do, when I entered the Registry of Legality in my native Pellmellia was get a simple name change. My full name of course is Peter Ruhmrunnier PegLegovitch, but my nickname is 'PegLeg Pete' - a proud and noble name handed down to me by my Pirate ancestors of Yore. (your what?) Never mind the fact that I have no peg leg, the thing that was bothering me was the 'Peter'. I wanted to change my first name to 'Pete'. Seems like it should be simple right?

Well, by the time I got to the front of the line (in the Registry of Legality, they had one of those 'wait-time' signs to let you know how long they guestimate you'll stand in line. Well, apparently some joker poured glue over it, and it's stuck on '2-hour-wait' You know how beauracrats are. Don't let reality stand in the way of the rules. This means that even though there was no one else in there, they still made me wait 2 hours!) I was rather peeved.

I flourished my name change form with a smooth fluid motion I had been practising, and accidentally gave the woman a papercut. So, now she was whimpering. I tried to calm her by saying how I thought scars looked cool, but that only made things worse. So, I whipped out my hankerchif in that same fluid motion, this time accidentally slugging her in the eye. Now she's screaming, crying and cursing, (cursing fluently I might add. I'm a nautical sailor type, and even I thought she went a bit overboard) so I panicked and plugged the 'chif in her mouth, gagging her. I apologized profusely, and tried to pull it out. She bit down on my fingers, so naturally I jumped backwards. Now, I've never been known for my strength, so how was I to know that when I pulled my hand backwards, it would pull her too, and that she would fly out the window? And that the window leads out into the bay? And that the bay was filled with sharks?

So, to cut a long story short, after the calvary rode in, I was arrested and thrown in the dungeon. fortunately, I got time off my sentence for rescuing the lady from the sharks, and was released the next day.

However, as ScurvyBeard said in the previous post, I'm banned from the Registry of Legality. I suppose if we had a really important legal thing, one of the other Pirates We Be could go over there and do it, but they're all pretty lazy.

Petered out.
Get it?
