True!

[Bobbisox]

Barbara Walters, of 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. Despite the overthrow of the

oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem

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 where you go):



BEHIND EVERY MAN, THERE'S A SMART WOMAN

Why have you posted this in jokes?

[McMouse]

Very good, though I thought the punchline would be the women were now required to walk in front of their husbands because of landmines.

I didn't mean that redhelen, I meant how come bobbi didn't post in cb where she usually goes. I've not seen her on here for a while I just thought she would have bobbed something like this on cb for a chat.
