Geography Lesson...
A friend of mine recently emailed me this anonymous piece, which I found worthy enough to share:
A Geography Lesson:
THE GEOGRAPHY OF A WOMAN
Between birth and 22, a woman is like Africa, half discovered, half
wild, naturally beautiful with fertile soil.
Between 23 and 30, a woman is like America, well developed and open
to trade, especially for someone with cash.
Between 31 and 35, a woman is like India, very hot, relaxed and
convinced of her own beauty.
Between 36 and 40, a woman is like France, gently aging; but still
warm and a desirable place to visit.
Between 41 and 50, a woman is like Great Britain, with a glorious and
all conquering past.
Between 51 and 60, a woman is like Yugoslavia, lost some wars, won
some great battles, but haunted by past mistakes, still very strong
and proud.
Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Russia, very wide and the borders
are now largely un-patrolled.
After 70, she becomes like Tibet. Off the beaten path, with a
mysterious past and the wisdom of the ages...still desirable but only
those with an adventurous spirit and a thirst for spiritual
knowledge and true love dare visit there.
THE GEOGRAPHY OF A MAN
Between 1 and 78, a man is like Iran, ruled by a dick.
I´ll pass this on
I´m laughing to the point of tears! This is great!
78? Well, that´s optimism!

Thanks- I thought it was
Thanks- I thought it was so amusing that it needed to be shared.
I only wish that I'd been clever enough to think of it myself...
Very funny, and often very
Very funny, and often very true, especially certain lines!

Well, according to my poor,
Well, according to my poor, long-suffering wife, especially that last line (sigh)...
Uncharted terrain
There's another joke in circulation in Britain which declares that war is nature's way of teaching Americans geography.
I wonder how this applies to your 'lesson'?!
Impossible, Rosie, for if
Impossible, Rosie, for if that were the case we'd all be bloody experts in geography by now- wouldn't we?!
Besides, as if being collectively geographically-challenged wasn't enough of a handicap for us Americans, foreigners like you purposefully make things even more difficult by often referring to your respective countries by various names (e.g., England, Britain, and United Kingdom in your case; Holland and/or the Netherlands for the "Dutch", etc.). I've no idea why you people deliberately choose to bewilder us in this fashion- but I, at least, am on to your nefarious tactic...!
Geography of a Woman (& Man)
As a woman lying in between Great Britain...I have to say, I loved this!
As my grandmother always told me, everything I would ever do in my life's occupations would always come back to help me with the next occupation! Now that is wisdom; I vaguely remembered that though while I was cleaning toilets at my kids' school when I was unemployed! Fascinatingly remembered it when I was a bartender at the country club! Best tips in the world!
Thanks,
