This is my favorite! I laugh my as* off everytime I read it! __________________________________________________
Once upon a time, there was an officer of the Royal Navy named
Captain Bravado 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. While wearing
the brightly colored frock, the Captain led his crew into battle and
defeated the mighty pirates. That evening, all the men sat around on
deck recounting the triumph of the earlier victory. 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 red shirt would not show my blood. Thus, you men would continue
to fight, with no fear."
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 trousers!"
