The captain of a pirate ship was sitting in his cabin when the first mate came to him and said: “There is a pirate ship on the horizon!”
The captain replied, “Tell the men to prepare the guns and bring me my red shirt!”
“Yes sir!” replied the first mate and went to fulfill his orders.
The ship came closer and the men began to fight. The captain and his ship won the battle and the men kept all of the gold.
A week later, the first mate came to the captain and said: “Captain, there are four ships on the horizon!”
The captain replied, “OK, tell the men to prepare the guns and bring me my red shirt!”
“Yes sir!” said the first mate and went to fulfill his orders.
The other ships came closer and the men began to fight. The captain and his ship won the battle and the men kept all of the gold.
After they won the battle, the first mate went to the captain and asked, “Every time we go into battle, you wear your red shirt. Why?”
The captain answered, “Well, I wear my red shirt so that if I get shot and start bleeding, the men will keep fighting, not knowing their captain is hurt!”
The first mate said, “Wow! That is really smart!”
Two weeks later, the first mate once again came to the captain and said, “Captain, there are 20 ships on the horizon!”
The captain said, “OK, tell the men to prepare the guns and bring me my brown pants!”
