Billie 'One Eye' Wilson was a pirate who sailed with the infamous Captain Morgan and he was also my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, grandfather. It was Billie's idea to get out of pirating and into the rum business, hence the birth of 'Captain Morgan's' rum.
I have an ageing, yellowed parchment somewhere or other, a deed signed by the Captain himself which entitles me, as a direct descendant of Billie Wilson, to a free bottle of rum whenever I present it at the factory but I have misplaced it. I think it is under a stack of papers on my desk.
Put it in mylar!
