 Now, whiskey pirates weren't pirates of the ahoy, matey variety. They were really roving bands of thieves who would descend upon a warehouse. They would bound and gag the watchman, cut the telephone wires, and steal all of the liquor inside. And Remus once encountered whiskey pirates. And he put up such a good fight. You know, Remus was a brawler. He put up such a good fight that at the end, the whiskey pirate said, you deserve to keep your own liquor. That was incredible.
