Bernie McDrake’s last request was simple: “Bury me like the captain I am.” His funeral featured eyepatches, sea shanties, and a rum toast–until his parrot, Crackers, spilled decades of secrets mid-eulogy.
The Revelation
“He had a second family in Tampa!” Crackers squawked, followed by “Arrr! Tax fraud!” The crowd gasped. The pastor dropped the anchor-shaped Bible.
Family Reactions
Two mistresses met over the shrimp platter. One left with the urn, claiming it was “rightfully hers.”
Funeral Industry Insight
Mortician Salty Graves warns, “Pirate funerals are risky. Birds remember–and they hold grudges.”
Conclusion
The parrot now has an agent and a podcast. Bernie’s treasure map? Still missing.
