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.

And the US Army Officers wear?

Khaki.

There was a Frenchman, an Englishman and Claudia Schiffer sitting
together in a carriage in a train going through Provence. Suddenly the
train went through a tunnel and as it was an old style train, there
were no lights in the carriages and it went completely dark. Then
there was a kissing noise and the sound of a loud slap. When the train
came out of the tunnel, Claudia Schiffer and the Englishman were
sitting as if nothing had happened and the Frenchman had his hand
against his face as if he had been slapped. The Frenchman was
thinking: 'The English guy must have kissed Claudia Schiffer and she
missed him and slapped me instead.' Claudia Schiffer was thinking:
'The French guy must have tried to kiss me and actually kissed the
Englishman and got slapped for it.' And the Englishman was thinking:
'This is great. The next time the train goes through a tunnel I'll
make another kissing noise and slap that French *** again.

It really isn't fair to call the French "swine". After all, pigs have
feelings too.

Only in America would the people let a minority of trial lawers and

rules.
