    During WWII when things were not going well for the Axis a German General and an Italian General planned the battle. The German General then ordered his aide to bring him his scarlet coat. The Italian General protested that the German General would be an easy target. " Ya!" he said "..but when I am struck my men will not see the blood against this scarlet coat. They will not fear and will fight on."

    The Italian General thought about this and thought it was a good idea. He said to his aide "Luigi, bring me my brown pants."
