Brave Captain<br>
<br>
Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship.<br>
As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his first mate, "Bring me my red shirt!"<br>
<br>
The first mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, which the captain put on and lead the crew to battle the pirate<br>
boarding party. Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled.<br>
<br>
Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending boarding parties. The crew cowered in fear,<br>
but the captain calm as ever bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!"<br>
<br>
The battle was on, and once again the captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, although this time more casualties<br>
occurred.<br>
<br>
Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's occurrences when an ensign looked to<br>
the captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?".<br>
<br>
The captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, exhorted, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does<br>
not show the wound and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid". The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of<br>
such a man.<br>
<br>
As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, ten of them, all with boarding parties on<br>
their way. The men became silent and looked to their captain for his usual command.<br>
<br>
The captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!"<br>
<br>
<br>
