F29

While Ruth goes into her Pirate/Pilot routine, you run over to the stranger. He is dressed in a yellow boiler suit and has a badge with "F29" on it.

"Who are you?" you ask

"Read the badge" says the man

"What does F29 mean?"

"I'm the 29th Febuary. I work at the office of Universial Time, but of course I'm not due in for my shift for another 3 years, not until Febuary 28th 1876.I'm on holiday."

He looks at the boat "He's one of my offspring, you know.1852."

"Frederic, you mean. Do you know we're in an opera?" you say

"Like Rossini? He's another one of my boys. 1792."

"This is Gilbert and Sullivan." You go on to tell F29 the plot, and he becomes furious.

"WHO'S THE SO-CALLED PIRATE KING??" he says, storming up to the pirates.
