He asks a sailor to get him his red shirt. The captain was asked, “Why do you need a red shirt?” The Captain replies, “So that when I bleed, you guys don’t notice and aren’t discouraged.” After a while they manage to fight off the pirates. The very next day, the Captain is alerted that 50 pirate ships are coming towards their boat. He yells, “Get me my brown trousers!” CLEVER KIDS! An police officer found a perfect hiding place to watch for speeding motorists. One day, the officer was amazed when everyone was under the speed limit, so he investigated and found the problem. A 10 year old boy was standing on the side of the road with a huge hand painted sign which said “Speed Camera Ahead.” A little more investigative work led the officer to the boy’s accomplice. Another boy about 100 yards beyond the Speed Camera with a sign reading “TIPS” and a bucket at his feet full of change. ELEPHANT The class teacher asks students to name an animal that begins with an “E”. One boy says, “Elephant”. Then the teacher asks for an animal that begins with a “T” . The same boy says, “Two elephants”. The teacher sends the boy out of the class for bad behaviour. After that she asks for an animal beginning with “M”. The boy shouts from the other side of the wall: “Maybe an elephant!” MASSACHEWSETS!
