Captain Bravo

Long ago, there lived a sailor named Captain Bravo. He was a manly man's man, who showed no fear when facing his enemies. One day, while sailing the seven seas, his lookout spotted a pirate ship, and the crew became frantic.

Captain Bravo bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!" The first mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, and while wearing the brightly colored frock, the captain led his crew into battle and defeated the pirates. That evening, all the men sat around on the deck recounting the day's triumph. One of the them asked the captain, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before battle?" The captain replied, "If I am
wounded in the attack, the shirt will not show my blood. Thus, you men will continue to fight, unafraid." All of the men sat in silence and marveled at the courage of such a manly man's man.

As dawn came the next morning, the lookout spotted not one, not two, but TEN pirate ships approaching. The crew stared in worshipful silence at the captain and waited for his usual orders. Captain Bravo gazed with steely eyes upon the vast armada arrayed against his ship, and without fear, turned and calmly shouted, "Bring me my brown pants!"

I like it! For all the mechanics out there, here's one I recently heard:

After seeing the same thing day after day, a gynecologist ponders his career choice and decides to make a change. The next day he enrolls in a vocational school to learn auto mechanics. After months of studying and training he's ready for his final exam. When he see's his final score, he's excited to learn that he received 150 points out of a possible 100. Curiously, he asks his instructor how he could have scored so high. The instructor tells him "I gave you 50 points for the meticulous way you took the engine apart. Each part was cleaned and inspected for damage. I gave you another 50 points for the way you put the engine together. It fired over and purred like a kitten on the first crank". "What was the 50 points for?" the former gynecologist asked. The instructor said "I gave you the extra 50 bonus points because I've never seen anyone do all this through the tailpipe before!"
