    ::book:: arrghhh! i
    Seems there was a treasure ship on its way back to port. About
    halfway there, it was approached by a pirate, skull and crossbones waving
    in the breeze!

    "Captain, captain, what do we do?" asked the first mate.

    "First mate," said the captain, "go to my cabin, open my sea
    chest, and bring me my red shirt." The first mate did so.

    Wearing his bright red shirt, the captain exhorted his crew to
    fight. So inspiring was he, in fact, that the pirate ship was repelled
    without casualties.

    A few days later, the ship was again approached, this time by two
    pirate sloops!

    "Captain, captain, what should we do?"

    "First mate, bring me my red shirt!"

    The crew, emboldened by their fearless captain, fought heroically, and
    managed to defeat both boarding parties, though they took many
    casualties. That night, the survivors had a great celebration. The
    first mate asked the captain the secret of his bright red shirt.

    "It's simple, first mate. If I am wounded, the blood does not
    show, and the crew continues to fight without fear."

    A week passed, and they were nearing their home port, when
    suddenly the lookout cried that ten ships of the enemy's armada were
    approaching!

    "Captain, captain, we're in terrible trouble, what do we do?"
    The first mate looked expectantly at the miracle worker.

    Pale with fear, the captain commanded, "First mate.... bring me my
    brown trousers!"
