The year was around 1890. A pirate ship is traversing the Atlantic Ocean to the next bounty.
From the crow’s nest, the Lookout yells: “Captain! One enemy war ship ion the horizon!” The Captain barks out orders: – Arm the battle stations! – and, First Officer, go fetch my red shirt The First Officer brings the Captain his red shirt and asks: “Is this your lucky shirt?” The Captain replies: “No, but if I were to be wounded in battle, I need our defenders to stay focused and not worry about me bleeding.” They are victorious. A few days later…… From the crow’s nest, the Lookout yells: “Captain! Five enemy war ships on the horizon!” The Captain barks out orders: – Arm the battle stations! – and, First Officer, go fetch my red shirt The First Officer brings the Captain his red shirt. A similar situation, they are victorious. A week later….. From the crow’s nest, the Lookout yells: “Captain! Two Hundred enemy war ships on the horizon!” The Captain barks out orders: – Arm the battle stations! – and, First Officer, go fetch my brown pants!
