And The Moral of The Story Is....

EDIE, ONE OF MY BEST GIRLFRIENDS IN JACKSON HOLE, sent me this clever, little email today which I'm passing on as my Monday afternoon post. It's a woman thing.
WOMEN WHO KNOW THEIR PLACE

Barbara Walters did a story on gender roles in Kabul , Afghanistan, several years before our involvement in 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 to, 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."

No matter what language you speak or where you go, Moral of this story is BEHIND EVERY MAN, THERE'S A REALLY SMART WOMAN.
