The ship's captain stood on the deck and heard the lookout
in the crow's nest holler down:
"Captain, there's a battleship heading right at us."
"Cabin boy," yelled the captain, "bring me my red shirt."
When the battle was over, the lookout asked the captain why on
earth he had called for a red shirt just as they were about to
engage in a big fight.
The captain answered, "That's so if I get wounded, the men won't
get demoralized when they see me bleeding."
Later that day, the lookout was back in the crow's nest and
hollered down:
"Sir, there's 12 battleships headed right for us !!!"
"Cabin boy," shouted the captain, "bring me my brown pants."
Bring Me My Brown Pants !!!
