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.
