The Tale of Captain Bravado
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, and
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 earlier. 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 shirt would not show my
blood. Thus, you men would continue to fight, unafraid."
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 pants."
