Pirate Joke While out at sea, a first mate runs to the captain and saying ""Captain! There are ten enemy ships on the horizon!"" The Captain responds ""Aye! Bring me my red shirt."" The Captain puts the shirt on and battle ensues. After a few hours, they emerge from the fight victorious. The first mate asks ""Why did you need your red shirt?"" The captain replies ""Because if i was wounded in battle, the crew wouldn't notice and would continue without me."" A few weeks later, the first mate runs frantically to the captain saying ""Captain, there are 100 enemy ships on the horizon! What are we to do? ""Get me my brown pants!""
