A long time ago, Britain and France were at
war. During one
battle,
the French captured an English major. Taking
the major to their
headquarters, the French general began to
question him.

The French general asked, "Why do you English
officers all wear
red
coats? Don't you know the red material makes
you easier targets
for
us to shoot at?"
In his bland English way, the major informed
the general that the
reason English officers wear red coats is so
that if they are
shot,
the blood won't show and the men they are
leading won't panic.

And that is why from that day to now all
French Army officers wear
brown pants.
