The crew became worried, but the Captain was calm. <BR/><BR/>He bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!" <BR/><BR/>The First Mate quickly got the Captain's red shirt, which the captain put on. Then he led his crew into battle against the mean pirates. Although there were some casualties among the crew, the pirates were defeated. <BR/><BR/>Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending two boarding parties towards their ship. The crew was nervous, but the Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!" And once again the battle was on! <BR/><BR/>The Captain and his crew fought off the boarding parties, though this time more casualties occurred. <BR/><BR/>Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's events when an ensign looked at the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?" <BR/><BR/>The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, explained, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the blood, so you men will continue to fight unafraid." The men sat in silence. They were amazed at the courage of such a man. <BR/><BR/>As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to the Captain, their leader, for his usual command. <BR/><BR/>The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!!!"camojackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07636605293846764764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-1155874231182265242006-08-18T00:10:00.000-04:002006-08-18T00:10:00.000-04:00Thanks for the help here Benning!!
