There once was a Pirate named Red shirt  It was said that he was invincible in battle, and could not be killed. He had recently found a new first mate after the last one found the bottom of the sea for stealing from the captain.  

The first mate didn't believe the tales of Red shirt, but upon asking for the first mate to fetch his Red shirt before every battle and never seeing Red shirt injured in battle, the first mate became curious.

One day the first mate asked the captain, "Sir, before every battle you have me fetch your red shirt and we have won.  What is the secret of this shirt? Does it posses some sort of dark magic that protects you?"

Red shirt burst out in laughter. "No my boy! Its secrets are far simpler than that!"

Red shirt then explained that it is his ability to lead his men in battle that is key. The red shirt hides the blood from his wounds so the men never think he is injured.  This inspires men to fight harder and never give up.

Then one day after plundering a small village, the British navy caught up to Red shirt's ship.  They tried fleeing but the British ships were too fast, they would have to stand and fight if they wished to escape.

The first mate asked the captain, "Shall I fetch your Red shirt sir?"

"No my boy." replied Red shirt "Today I will need my brown trousers."
