A Joke for the Ladies

[Burgs]

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 Ms. 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.

Ms. 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 Ms. Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation, said, "Land Mines."

MORAL: BEHIND EVERY MAN IS A SMART WOMAN.

Alternative moral: IN FRONT OF EVERY WOMAN IS A DUMB MAN (but only in Afghanistan)

Swings and roundabouts - snipers take the hindmost.

If he's had curry - walk in front.
If you want to check out passing talent and not get caught - walk behind.

MORAL - WOMEN CAN ADAPT EASILY TO CIRCUMSTANCES

Well, not so much "joke" as such, more an anecdote for the fairer sex to feel smug and self righteous about
