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? Do you not you know that the red material makes you easy targets?”

In his English manner, the major informed the general that the reason English officers wear red coats is so that if they are shot, the blood will not show and the men they are leading will not panic.

And that is why from that day forward, all French Army officers wear brown pants.
