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.
