When a man loves a woman

A journalist had done a story on gender roles in Kuwait
several years before the Gulf War, and she noted that
women customarily walked about ten feet behind their
husbands.

She returned to Kuwait recently and observed that the
men now walked several yards behind their wives.
She approached one of the women for an explanation.

"This is marvelous," said the journalist, "What enabled
woman here to achieve this reversal of roles ?"

The Kuwaiti woman replied,"land mines."
