A pirate's hook shot

Question:
Dear Cap'n Billy,

Do you play basketball? I bet you have a mean HOOK shot. Get it, HOOK shot?! See you have a HOOK on your hand, so EVERY shot you take is a HOOK shot. Get it?! I'm cracking myself up.

Signed,

A REALLY funny guy

Answer:
Dear Mr. Guy,

You are soooooo funny. I'd like to show you my hook shot. Please meet me behind the Crow's Nest Tavern tonight at 3 a.m., after the bar closes when it's dark and there's nobody around. That's when my hook shot is at its best.

Happy sailing and don't let the bilge rats bite,
