Once upon a time, there was an officer of the Royal Navy named Captain Bravado who showed no fear when facing his enemies.
One day, while sailing the Seven Seas, Captain Bravado's lookout spots a pirate ship approaching, and the crew become frantic. Captain Bravado bellows: "Bring me my red shirt!"
The first mate quickly retrieves the captain's red shirt and while wearing the brightly coloured gamrent, the captain leads his crew into battle and defeats the mighty pirates.

That evening, all the men are sitting around on deck recounting the earlier triumph. Eventually one of them asks the captain: "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before battle?"
"If I were to be wounded in the attack, the shirt would not show my blood," replies the captain. "Thus you men would continue to fight, unafraid."

The next morning, the lookout spots not one, not two, but 10 pirate ships approaching, and the crew stare in worshipful silence at the captain awaiting his usual orders.
Captain Bravado gazes with steely eyes upon the vast armada arrayed against his ship and, without fear, turns and calmly commands: "Get me my brown pants."
