Why English Officers Wore Red Coats

A long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During one
battle, the French captured an English colonel. They took him to
their
headquarters, and the French general began to question him. Finally,
as
an afterthought, 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 officer 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 this, all French Army
officers wear brown pants.
