I work in an office of seven but three or four of the others make enough noise for 40 chimps on speed. Your office sounds idyllic.

Fare thee well
Apologies, just noticed a small typo, now corrected.
Basket should be Baskets.

You missed an "E" in your solution - the final part is "SEE" backwards around the "ILL"

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!". The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, which the captain put on and lead the crew to battle the pirate boarding party. Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled.
Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending boarding parties. The crew cowered in fear, but the captain calm as ever bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!". The battle was on, and once again the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, although this time more casualties occurred.
Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's occurrences when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?". The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, exhorted, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the wound and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid". The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of such a man.
As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to their Captain for his usual command. The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!!

I first heard it as why did English Officers where Red Coats.
And that is why French Officers wear Brown Trousers.

And white shirts, so they have the correct colour material handy, easily ripped into a rudimentary flag.

Visa and Mastercard never really succeeded in France, for there is no French word for 'Charge'.

BTW, The French Security Forces have raised their terror alert status from "Run" to "Hide".
If attacks continue on the continent they may be forced to further increase the alert to "Surrender", or even as high as "Collaborate"

A: the german army likes to march in the shade

Just got back from a dear friend of mine. We had a lovely evening, the children were playing street floorball against the adults (we lost  ... old fa..s ), we spent time together with old old friends, talked about everything etc and last but not the least we had a really, really excellent meal (I had seconds for 5 times...).
Things just couldn't be better. Happy May Day to all of you!
