| Religious Fanatic | Just got this forward today: THE GEOGRAPHY OF A WOMAN Between 18 and 20 a woman is like Africa. Half discovered, half wild, naturally beautiful with fertile deltas. Between 21 and 30 a woman is like England. Well developed and open to trade, especially for someone with cash. Between 31 and 35 she is like India. Very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty. Between 36 and 40 a woman is like France. Gently ageing but still a warm and desirable place to visit. Between 41 and 50 she is like Yugoslavia. Lost the war, haunted by past mistakes and massive reconstruction is now necessary Between 51 and 60, she is like Russia. Very wide and borders are unpatrolled. The frigid climate keeps people away. Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Mongolia. With a glorious and all conquering past but alas, no future. After 70, she becomes like Afghanistan. Everyone knows where it is, but no one wants to go there. THE GEOGRAPHY OF A MAN Between 15 and 70 a man is like America - ruled by a dick

![]() | Forward this back to them: Dai, who had just turned 20, one day informed his father that he wanted to marry Mari the girl next door. "I'm sorry, boyo," said his father, "but you can't marry her, you see as it happens she's your sister." Dai was downcast but within a week he came back to see his father again. "Dad", he said, "I've made up my mind to marry Morfydd." "Isn't that the girl behind the counter in Morgan's dairy?" asked his father . . . and it turned out she was his sister too. Gradually one after another the girls of the village were excluded from matrimonial alliance with Dai on the grounds of consanguinity until none was left. One evening after the last girl had fallen under his father's interdict Dai was sitting in the front room looking sadly at the grate. "What's wrong with you, Dai?" asked his mother, "girl trouble is it?" "Yes, Mam," Dai replied, "every time I want to marry a girl, father makes out she's my sister." "Oh, don't listen to that old fool", said his mother, "he's no relation of yours anyway." |
