AMERICAN
WOMEN
Take all American
women who are within five years of menopause - train us for a few
weeks, outfit us with automatic weapons, grenades, gas masks, moisturizer
with SPF 15, Prozac, hormones, chocolate and canned tuna. Drop us
(parachuted, preferably) across the landscape of Afghanistan, and
let us do what comes naturally.

Think
about it. Our anger quotient alone, even when doing standard stuff
like grocery shopping and paying bills, is formidable enough to make
even armed men in turbans tremble.

We've
had our children, we would gladly suffer or die to protect them and
their future.
We'd
like to get away from our husbands, if they haven't left already.
And for those of us who are single, the prospect of finding a good
man with whom to share life is about as likely as being struck by
lightning.

We
have nothing to lose.

We've
survived the water diet, the protein diet, the carbohydrate diet,
and the grapefruit diet in gyms and saunas across America and never
lost a pound. We can easily survive months in the hostile terrain
of
Afghanistan with no food at all!

We've
spent years tracking down our husbands or lovers in bars, hardware
stores or sporting events ... finding Bin Laden in some cave will
be no
problem.

Uniting
all the warring tribes of Afghanistan in a new government? Oh,
please ... we've planned the seating arrangements for in-laws and
extended families at Thanksgiving dinners for years ... we understand
tribal warfare.

Between
us, we've divorced enough husbands to know every trick there is
for how they hide, launder, or cover up bank accounts and money sources.
We know how to find that money and we know how to seize it ... with
or without the government's help!

Let
us go and fight. The Taliban hates women. Imagine their terror as
we crawl like ants with hot-flashes over their godforsaken terrain.

1.
Don't imagine you can change a man-unless he's in diapers.
2. What do you
do if your boyfriend walks-out? You shut the door.
3. If they put
a man on the moon - they should be able to put them all up there.
4. Never let
your man's mind wander - it's too little to be out alone.
5. Go for younger
men. You might as well - they never mature anyway.
6. Men are all
the same - they just have different faces, so that you can tell them
apart.
7. Definition
of a bachelor; a man who has missed the opportunity to make some woman
miserable.
8. Women don't
make fools of men - most of them are the do-it-yourself types.
9. Best way
to get a man to do something, is to suggest they are too old for it.
10. Love is
blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.
11. If you want
a committed man, look in a mental hospital.
12. The children
of Israel wandered around the desert for 40 years (Even in biblical
times, men wouldn't ask for directions)
13. If he asks
what sort of books you're interested in, tell him checkbooks.
14. Remember
a sense of humor does not mean that you tell him jokes, it means that
you laugh at his.
