Blue Collar Comedy Tour joke

[MikenJulie]

Heard this one a few days ago, loved it.

It's the 1800's, an old wooden-hulled war ship is sailing the seas. Ones of the crew spots a ship and yells to the captain "CAPTAIN, ENEMY WARSHIP AHEAD!!!!"

The Captain yells "QUICK, FETCH ME MY RED SHIRT!!"

Confused, the crew members get the red shirt for the Captain, they all fight with great success. Not one of the crew was lost in the battle.

Afterwards, the man asks the Captain what was the deal with the red shirt.

"Well, if I get injured in battle, the red shirt hides the blood, the morale of the crew is maintained, no one gets distracted and worried about me."

Made sense, the crew member was satisfied.

The next day, the same mate on watch duty yells to the Captain "CAPTAIN, I COUNT 20, YES 20 ENEMY WARSHIPS AHEAD!!!!"

"QUICK, GET ME MY BROWN PANTS!!!!"

I tell the same joke but with a Frenchman needing the brown pants when attacked.
