Subject: FW: Walk Behind Your Husband
Barbara Walters (20/20) did a story on gender roles in Kabul several years ago before the Afghan conflict. She highlighted how women objected to the custom of having to walk about 5 paces behind their husbands.
She returned to Kabul recently and observed that women still walked behind their husbands, walked even further back, and appeared pleased with the custom.
Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghan women and asked, "Why do you now seem happy with this old custom that you tried so hard to change?"
"Land mines," answered the Afghan woman.
and here is another one of them.
Subject: RE: help
That's a nice one about the bulbs.
One of my favorite things is to mix my not-so-smart metaphors.
Like, "I'm not the sharpest egg in the bucket" or "She's not the brightest elevator in the deck".
Also, another of my favorites is to say "I'm ten cents short of a nickel."
