Listen up, buttercup. This joke is funny because it uses the phrase "wash up" in two different ways. Pirates "wash up on shore" meaning they end up on the beach after falling in the water. Also, "wash up" means to take a shower or bath. Get it now? Probably not. You're like a broken pencil – pointless.
