Had I put some some foresight into this I would have made a pirate ship to chuck up on top of the Pop with a cannon and a Jolly Roger flying. A real cannon.

A pirate walks into a bar wearing a paper towel on his head. He sits down at the bar and orders some dirty rum.

The bartender asks, "Why are you wearing a paper towel?"

"Arrr..." says the pirate. "I've got a bounty on me head!"
