There once was pirate captain.........
There once was pirate captain who, whenever it looked like a battle would be imminent would change into a red shirt. After observing this behavior for a few months, one of the crew members asked him what it meant.
"It's in case I get shot. I don't want you crew members to see blood and freak out."

"That's very sensible, sir." At that moment, the crew member spotted eight hostile ships on the horizon. The captain all of a sudden looked very concerned.

"Get my brown pants."

1. Hee hee
That was good.
But when I read the subject line, I thought for sure it was going to be a limerick!

There once was a pirate captain,
Who often wore shirts of red satin.
When eight ships came about
He was heard to yell out
"Get those pants that look like they've been crapped in."

Yeah, maybe I should stick to haiku!

4. Yeah, for better or worse.
Funny how being tired sometimes gets the creative juices flowing.
