A naval captain is alerted by his First Mate there’s a pirate ship approaching his position. He asks the mate to get him his red shirt.
The sailor asked, “Why do you need a red shirt?”
The captain replies, “So that when I bleed, you guys don’t notice and get discouraged.” The captain and his crew went on to defeat the pirates.
The very next day, the captain is alerted 50 pirate ships were approaching their boat. The captain yells, “Get me my brown pants!”
