Barbara Walters, of 20/20, did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands.
She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands. Despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem happy to maintain the old custom. Ms Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, "Why do you now seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?"
The woman looked Ms Walters straight in the eyes and, without hesitation, said, "Land mines."

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation. Igor Sikorsky

We went over this some years ago (when the forums seemed more interactive than now -- but there were significantly fewer topical forum sections): some things are worth repeating (especially in the form of humor -- unless affiliated with the U.K., whereas, only humour may be appropriate).
