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 began to question him.
The French general asked, "Why do you English officers all wear red coats? Do you not know the red material makes you easier targets at which for us to shoot?"
In his own bland English way, the major informed the French general that the reason the English officers wear red is so that if they are shot, the blood will not show, and the men they are leading will not panic.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why from that day to the present, all French Army officers wear brown pants.
