History of the Banjo

by this time everyone on board is flailing at the strings and screaming incoherently, all bringing themselves way past the point of madness. Rational thought is lost. All of a sudden at the very peak, when you just knew it couldn't get any crazier, one of the larger fellows, eyes closed, starts swinging his headharp(stringed instument made from human skull) wildly, smashing anything in its path. Priceless dinnerware, kittens, fellow vikings, nothing was safe. This triggered the rest of the ship to do the same, hundreds of three hundred pound vikings pulverizing each other as a way to get pumped up for the upcoming pilagefest that was about begin. Reaching port this lunacy would spill off the ship and into the streets where the harvesting of more raw material for their headharps would begin. The broken pieces of harps left behind were the precursor to the modern banjo.
