From the crow's nest the lookout yelled "Pirate Ship approaching!"
The Admiral said to his aide, "Quick, Ensign, my red shirt!"
Whereupon he donned the red shirt, the pirates boarded, the Admiral bravely lead the charge and routed the pirates.
The crew was most impressed!
Not 3 hours later the look out yelled, "3 pirate ships approching!!"
Again The Admiral shouts "Quick, Ensign my red shirt!" and yadda, yadda, yadda.
As the burning pirate ships sink into the sea, the awed ensign
approaches The Admiral, "Sir, the men are mightily impressed with your courage..........but they are curious as to why you always don a red shirt!?"
"Well, Ensign, if I were to be wounded the red shirt would help camoflouge my blood, thereby keeping up the morale of the men!"
The crew was awed.
Not 5 minutes later the crows nest yells, " 10 Pirate ships on the horizon!!!"
The Admiral shouts, "Quick, Ensign, my brown pants!"
