A reporter who did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict noted then that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands.

She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands.

She approached one of the Afghan women and asked:
"Why do you now seem happy with the old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?"

The woman looked her in the eyes and without hesitation, said:
" Landmines ! "

"The Husband will get it first"

Moral of the story : Behind every man is a damn smart woman !
