Here's your hilarious joke:

What is a pirate's favorite letter A letter of marque and reprisal, which granted treatment as a prisoner of war if captured, provided the former pirate turn over a proportion of his prizes to the issuing government. Used as a convenient way for otherwise underprepared belligerent nations to expand their navies in times of war, letters of marque and reprisal were finally renounced in 1856, long after the golden age of piracy.
