Smart Woman

WOMEN WHO KNOW THEIR PLACE

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 five paces behind their husbands.

She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands.

From Ms . Walters' 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.

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

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

Moral of the story is: (no matter what language you speak and where you go)

"BEHIND EVERY MAN, THERE'S A SMART WOMAN"


Funny! Pretty smart, huh? :)
I got this email from my friend who sends me a bunch of hilarious, even naughty ones, (I can't post them here for apparent reason...wholesome eh :)) almost every day.
