Travel of the sea one: There are times when the only thing a sensible man can do is to get on with living, even if doing so means planning for death.

There are times when the only thing a sensible man can do is to get on with living, even if doing so means planning for death. No one in the whole world knew that better than Jack Sparrow, who certainly counted himself as one of the most sensible of men.
Indeed few men had more motivation to be so. He couldn’t know for certain that the bloody locker, and its’ inconvenient truths and terrifying trials, still awaited him now that Jones was gone, but nor could he know that it didn’t. Not unless he was willing to attract the attention of a lady whose attentions were probably better not attracted for the moment. Not given her mood when last they met, or the size of his current boat and the, sadly, limited supply of rum.
Being Captain Jack Sparrow that meant that he had to find some way to change the facts and shift the balance of probability to something he was more comfortable with. Like improving the odds that he wouldn’t die again.
