During the great battle of Trafalgar, Lord Nelson was out on his ship, when he notices a HUGE fleet of Spanish ships heading towards them!!

He turns to his assistant and says "Fetch me my telescope and my red coat!"

His assistant says "The telescope I can understand, but why do you want the red coat??"

Nelson says "With blood being the same colour as the red coat, the men wont notice I'm injured, and therefore good for their morale!"

His assistant gulps with fear and says "Well what a great idea! I think I'll wear my brown trousers!"
