A captain takes his crew into battle

A captain takes his crew into battle

A captain and his crew were sailing through the waters. A crewman calls from the lookout nest.

"Captain! 5 enemy ships headed our way!"

The captain turns to a sailor and says "Bring me my red shirt." The sailor bring him his red shirt and the captain leads them into battle. The battle rages through the day, and the captains fierceness and cunning leads the crew and they sink the enemy ships and the whole crew survives.

After the battle the sailor approaches the captain and says "Sir, I must ask, before the battle you asked for a red shirt. Why?" And the Captain says "If I am shot in battle, the crew will not see me bleed and will not be discouraged." The sailor salutes his captain and leaves.

The next day the captain and his crew continue to sail. The crewman calls down from the lookout nest.

"Captain! 30 enemy ships coming or way!"

The captain turns to the sailor and says "Bring me my brown pants."
