The Man in the Uniform
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.
