I had to save this thread for a pirate joke.
---
Long ago lived a powerful seaman named Captain Bravo. He was a manly man's man who showed no fear in the face of his enemies. One day a lookout spotted a pirate ship, and the crew became frantic.
Captain Bravo bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!"
The First Mate retrieved the red shirt, and the Captain led his mates into battle, defeating the pirates. The following day, the lookout spotted two pirate ships. The captain again howled for his red shirt, and once again they vanquished the pirates.
That evening, one of the men asked the captain, "Sir, why do you call for your red shirt before battle?"
The captain replied, "If I am wounded in the attack, the shirt will not show my blood, and thus, you men will continue to follow me, unafraid."
The crew sat in silence and marveled at the courage of such a man.
As dawn came the next morning, the lookout spotted ten pirate ships approaching.
The rank and file all stared in silence at the captain and waited for his usual reply. Captain Bravo gazed with steely eyes upon the vast armada arrayed against him, and the he shouted, "Bring me my brown pants!"
