Recently, I read this somewhere and liked it so much that I have decided to put it as a post.
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 Miss 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

There is this story of a man, sitting next to his pregnant wife who is driving, he is telling her he has the house in his name, and all the bank accounts too, and she will have to manage on her own because he is divorcing her to marry his secretary, she starts driving extremely fast, kind of maddened with grief ...and he is terrified, and she tells him, he also has a million dollar insurance, and she has just one thing that he doesn't have, driving straight into a rocky hill, she tells him she has the air bags :)
