Okay, so get this: Pirates don't shower *before* walking the plank because they're gonna "wash up" on shore anyway! It's a play on words, see? "Wash up" means both cleaning yourself and being carried by the water after, like, an accident. You're so landlocked and have never seen the sea, you wouldn't get it.
