A journalist had done a story on gender roles in Kuwait several years
before the Gulf War, and she noted then that women customarily walked
about 10 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 women here to
achieve this reversal of roles?"
Replied the Kuwaiti woman: "Land mines."
