French Army Officers

Post by Mom in Texas »

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.

"Why do your English officers all wear red coats? Don't you know the red material makes you easier targets for us to shoot at?" exclaimed the French General.

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.

This little-known historical fact clearly explains why, from that day until now, all French Army Officers wear brown pants.
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. - Colin Powell

Why are the streets of Paris lined with trees?

Because the Germans like to march in the shade.



Oldie, but goodie.
