A visitor, returning to Kuwait for the first time since the Gulf War, was impressed by a sociological change. On previous visits she noted that women customarily walked about 5 paces behind their husbands.



She observed that the men now walked over 20 paces BEHIND their wives!



She approached one of the women for an explanation: What enabled women here to achieve this marvellous reversal of roles?



Land mines, replied the Kuwaiti woman.
