the first mate of a ship runs up to the captin and says "captain captain were being attacked on the starbord bow by pirate"

the captain says "run down to the galley grab my red coat and meet me on deck." so the first mate gets the cap'ns coat and they shoot their guns and cannons and beat the pirates.

well a few days later the first mate runs up to the captain and says "capn capn were being attacked on the port side by pirates." the capn said to get his red coat and meet him on deck and they fire their guns and beat the pirates.

well the first mate was wondering about this whole red coat thing and he asked the captain why he had him run down and get his coat every time they were attacked by pirates.

well i wear it so if i get shot you won't see any blood so the men won't worry. and the first mate thought that was sensible.

the next day the first mate runs up to the captain and yells capn capn were being attacked on all sides by pirates!

the captain said go down get my brown pants and meet me on deck
