I'm remembering one, dimly, about a captain who always insisted his first mate bring him a red shirt before every battle. One night after several battles, the first mate asks him about why he's adopted the practice.
His answer is simple and practical: "The idea is that if I am wounded, you men will not see it and will continue to fight on unafraid."
The next morning they find themselves surrounded by Barbary Pirate xebecs... the order of the day?
