Captain Bravado...
======================================================
Long ago, there lived an officer of the Royal Navy named Captain
Bravado. He was a manly man's man, who showed no fear when facing his
enemies.
One day, while sailing the Seven Seas, his lookout spotted a pirate
ship approaching, and the crew became frantic. Captain Bravado
bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!"
The first mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, and while
wearing the brightly colored frock, the Captain led his crew into
battle and defeated the pirates.
That evening, all the men sat around on the deck recounting the day's
triumph. One of them asked the Captain, "Sir, why did you call for your
red shirt before battle?"
The captain replied, "If I were to be wounded in the attack, the shirt
would not show my blood. Thus, you men would continue to fight,
unafraid." All of the men sat and marveled at the courage of such a
manly man's man.
As dawn came the next morning, the lookout spotted not one, not two,
but TEN pirate ships approaching. The crew stared in worshipful silence
at the captain and waited for his usual orders. Captain Bravado gazed
with steely eyes upon the vast armada arrayed against his ship, and
without fear, turned and calmly shouted, "Get me my brown pants!"
