WOMEN KNOWING THEIR PLACES
Body: I nearly died laughing when I read this...

A point of view... Barbara Walters of Television's 20/20 did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict.



She noted that women customarily walked 5 paces behind their husbands.


She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands. From Miss Walter's vantage point, despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to walk even further back behind their husbands and are happy to maintain the old custom.



Miss Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, "Why do you now seem happy with the old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?"

The woman looked Miss Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation, said, "Land Mines.

"

MORAL OF THE STORY: BEHIND EVERY MAN IS A SMART WOMAN.

1. Good jokes generally make you wince a bit as you laugh, because of the truth

contained within them.

That one is a good joke.

3. I've always used the same logic while driving the freeways

I like to call them my scouts. I always try to follow someone speeding like a bat out of hell. I figure the cops will catch them and be too busy to bother with me.

5. I once heard a variation, "Someone Asked a Sheik why his Wives walked in FRONT of Him"

The answer was "land mines".
