[lfjokes] Wonderful Men!

[simondo]

 A heart-warming story of the advances of women in achieving equality
 throughout the world...
 
 Barbara Walters of 60 Minutes (USA) did a story on gender roles in
 Kabul several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women
 customarily walked about ten paces behind their husbands. She returned to
 Kabul recently and observed that the men now walked several paces behind
 their wives. Ms Walters approached one of the Afghani women and said.
 
 "This is marvellous. Can you tell the free world just what enabled
 women to achieve this reversal of roles?"
 
 "Land mines," said the woman.
