    During one of the many wars that the French and the British fought and
    the French usually lost, the French just happened to capture a British
    Major. An officer brought the Major to the French general for
    interrogation. The French general began ridiculing the Major for
    wearing "that stupid red tunic." The French general said, "Why to you
    wear that red uniform, it makes it easy for us to shoot you." The
    British major replied, "If I do get wounded, the blood will not show,
    and my soldiers will not get scared." The French general said, "That
    is a very good idea," The Frenchy turned to his orderly and said,
    "From now on all French officers will wear brown pants."

    ROTFLMAO!
