French uniforms

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 until now, all French Army
Officers wear brown pants.
