Check this out. Here are Captain LeChuck and Captain Barbossa:


Hmm... What about the love interests?

Elaine Marley and Elizabeth Swan:




And don't forget in Dead Man's Chest when they go to the swamp to meet Tia Dalma (aka the Voodoo Lady) :








Anyway, I hope other people are tickled by this as much as I am.
