Most people have already heard of the wooden tall ship with cannon, whose lookout shouted, "Enemy ship on the horizon!" The captain turned to his first mate and told him, "Bring me my red shirt!" The first mate did so. The captain changed into the red shirt. After they won the battle, the first mate asked the captain, "Why did you ask for your red shirt earlier?" The captain answered, "So if I were injured in battle, our crew would not see it and be able to focus on fighting." The next morning, the lookout shouted, "Twelve enemy ships on the horizon!" The captain turned to his first mate and said, "Bring me my brown pants!"
When hospitals in the paths of hurricanes call all inpatient physicians to report to work to be locked in, they officially call it a Code Brown.
