There once was a famous merchant captain, Cap'n Jack his crew called him.

One day as they were sailing across their usual trade route, the sailor in the crow's nest called down that there was sail on the northern horizon. It was Pirates, bearing down on them! Cap'n Jack went to the rail, looked out to the north, and scratched his chin in thought. They couldn't outrun the pirates, as they were a merchant ship. After a couple minutes he called his first mate to get his red shirt. After some time the pirate ship approached and there was a pitched battle. Cap'n Jack and his crew were victorious!

A week later, the crewman in the crow's nest starts shouting. There, on the horizon, three pirate ships! Once again, Cap'n Jack pondered this apparition for some time. Once again, he called for his first mate to bring him his red shirt. Once again, after a few tense hours, Cap’n Jack and his valiant crew were victorious!

A couple hours later, the first mate approached the captain. "Sir, I have a question. Why do you keep asking me for your red shirt before we go into battle?"

"Well," says the Cap'n, "I wear me red shirt so, if'n I'm wounded in battle, the crew won't lose heart. That way they keep fighting on. Helps keep their confidence up, ya see."

"That's mighty thoughtful of ya, Sir!" blurts the first mate.

One day, halfway through their next voyage, the crewman in the crow's nest shrieks horribly and plummets to the deck, stone cold dead! On the horizon is, not one, not three, not even five pirate ships, it's TEN pirate ships! All rapidly drawing near!

Cap'n Jack walks over to the rail. He sits there, scratching his chin, leaning his head this way then that way, deep in thought. "First mate!" he yells out.

"Aye Cap'n!?" he responds.

"Fetch me my brown trousers!"

Heh, Typo monster strikes again!
