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 materia l 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.
