Loading ...One day an English ship is sailing along, when suddenly a ship of pirates attacks them. Before the pirates board the English captain commands the first mate, “Bring me my red shirt!” The first mate goes and gets his shirt. Then the English crew fight off the pirates.
Later on the English ship encounters three pirate ships. Once again the captain tells the first mate, “Fetch me my red shirt!” The first mate gets the shirt. Then the English crew fights off the pirates.
That night the first mate asks the captain, “Why do you always ask for your red shirt before we fight?” The captain replies, “Well, while we’re fighting if I am wounded you won’t be able to see the blood, and you’ll fight just as hard.” The first mate thinks, “What a brave captain.”
The next day the English crew comes upon twelve pirate ships, all ready to attack. Anxiously, the first mate asks if he should get the captain’s red shirt. The captain replies, “No, bring me my brown pants!”
