Red Coats


A long time ago, Britain and France were at war (so, what's new in this regard?).

During one battle, the French captured an English Major. Taking the Major to their headquarters, the French General began to interrogate 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 dry, matter-of-fact English style, the Major informed the general that the reason English Officers wore red coats was so that, if they were shot, the blood wouldn't show; and the troops they were leading wouldn't panic.

And that is why from that day until now all French Army Officers wear brown pants.
