AS FRANCE REJOINS NATO, A REMINDER OF WHY WE NEVER MISSED THEM

Q: What do you call 100,000 Frenchmen with their hands up ?
A: The army

Q: Why are there so many tree-lined boulevards in France ?
A: Germans liked to march in the shade.

Q: Why don't they have fireworks at Euro Disney ?
A: Because every time they shoot them off, the French try to surrender.

"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me"
General George S. Patton

Q: How do the French advertise surplus World War 11 rifles ?
A: Never fired, only dropped once.

Q: What's the difference between Frenchmen and toast ?
A: You can make soldiers out of toast.

Q: How many Frenchman does it take to defend Paris ?
A: Nobody knows, it's never been tried.

A long time ago, the British and French were at war. During one battle, the French captured an English Major. They took the major to their HQ and a French general began to question him.
The French general asked:"Why do you English officers all wear red coats ? Don't you know the red material makes you easy targets for us to shoot?"
In his debonair English way, the major informed the general that the reason Englih 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 now, all French army officers wear brown pants.
