Off Topic, But. . .
Okay, I know this doesn't really fit the general topic here, but I've just gotta share. . .
A sailing ship is cruising along when the look-out in the crow's nest calls down, "Deck, Ahoy! Enemy ship on the horizon!!" The first mate promptly runs up to the captain on the quarterdeck and asks what he should do.
"Bring me my red shirt!" demands the captain.
Shortly after the captain dons his red shirt, the battle is joined, and rages on for hours. The crew fights valiantly, and the enemy ship soon slips beneath the waves. The crew is bloodied, but victorious, and the captain basks in the cheers of his men. Exhilirated, the first mate asks his captain, "Sir, why the red shirt?"
"When I wear the red shirt, if I am cut or shot in battle, no member of the crew will see the blood; and everyone will be inspired to fight on!" Cheers of adulation for the brave captain fill the air.
Several days later, the ship is cruising when the look-out again cries, "Deck, Ahoy! Twenty enemy ships on the horizon!!"
Again, the first mate rushes to his captain for advice. The captain pauses for a moment, then demands. . .
"Bring me my brown pants!"
