Geography of a Woman

DH Christopher's best friend Tony gave him a subscription to Funny Times; a monthly newspaper devoted to humor.  This past month Christopher found a sassy little commentary and kept asking that I post it here.  Too busy closing down the farm I promised I would get to it...

As I was heading out this morning to slaughter a murderously misbehaving rooster and setup the field for our limited sheep breeding season, his request popped into my mind.  Ahem, with my time in Israel coming to an end, is this chicken soup for an over-extended woman's soul?  

Geography of a Woman

Between 18 and 22, a woman is like Africa:  Half discovered, half wild, fertile and naturally beautiful.

Between 23 and 30, a woman is like Europe:  Well-developed and open to trade, especially for someone of real value.

Between 31 and 35, a woman is like Spain:  Very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.

Between 36 and 40, a woman is like Greece:  Gently aging but still a warm and 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 Israel:  She has been through war, doesn't make the same mistakes twice and takes care of business.

Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Canada:  Self-preserving but open to meeting new people

After 70, she becomes Tibet:  Wildly beautiful with a mysterious past and the wisdom of the ages, an adventurous spirit and a thirst for spiritual knowledge.


Map of a Man

Between 1 and 90, men are like the citizens of Iran:  Ruled by their nuts.



Damned testosterone....I didn't mean it, reeeeaaaallly.


Sending good wishes to you all as you prepare for the holiday seasons.

Wholey /wobbly/wrightly

"Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian."
- Dennis Wholey (1937-)

Friend Garrett found the quote and we are terribly fond of it.  Cleaning up the land, getting ready for winter...we are working our butts off and happy to be here doing it.
