Fanghorn Redbeard was exhausted. It had been a long first week.
Fifty hours of pillaging, plundering, and marauding had been grueling, but finally it was payday.
He took his check from the clerk and winced: $157.08!?!?
He complained and was told, “Sorry: $3.14159265 per hour is the standard Pi-rate wage.”
Chris Fries is a still-developing writer, working to hone his chops. He is an Engineer by vocation, a guitarist by avocation, and a writer by compulsion. His writing blog is StratPlayerCJF.blogspot.com.
I love punishment. That was a cute pun, though Fanghorn should have winced AFTERWARD. LOL
Cheers,
Mitch
Cute! Love the Pi reference Mr. Engineer.
@Mitch: Thanks, Mitch! Any pun involving both math and pirates has to be cool, though — don’t you think? ;^)
@Cyndi: Thank you, Cyndi! I appreciate the words of support, and yes, I admit to being a wee bit nerdy. After all, you can’t spell “geek” without an “EE” (electrical engineer), right?
