The Woman!

(Tough job! being a woman)

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter.. 10 men and 1 woman.

The rope was not strong enough to carry them all so they decided that one had to let go, otherwise they were all going to fall.

They weren't able to choose that person, until the woman gave a very touching speech.

She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids or for men in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little in return.

As soon as she finished her speech,

All the men started clapping . . .

I admire women and their abilities, like most men I haven’t said a lot about it. I had a son who was going to be Mr. Mom, he lasted about a month (maybe longer).  He says to me, “You have no idea what women have to do.” I smiled, it was his turn to learn. He went back to building houses, much easier.

I am really a great cook (As long as it is in one pot, sometimes two) but let me try to do a meal where meat, veggies, biscuits, tea and dessert must be out at the right times, FORGET IT, something is gonna be COLD (That should be hot).

Now add that to coming home from working 8 hours, having even 1 child  at day care, you  have an iron lady.  Rose (over at Roses are Read) was mentioning ‘just thinking of trying to raise children in this day makes one nervous.’

I have only one negative thing to say about women. With all their ingenuity, strength and abilities, It is very hard for a woman to work for another woman. At times it is hard to have women co-workers. There is a ‘competitive(?)’ nature in you ladies that bring out ‘catty’ remarks. A woman  doesn’t mind working hard, ‘BUT ‘SHE’ HAD BETTER WORK just as hard.’

I speak from experience on this topic. In Washington, DC I supervised 37 people, 35 of which were women.  There was some pressure to the job. Most days it was fine BUT there were days……. hahahahaha

(Mothers always care!)

I also learn from Sherry, my wonderful wife, she has had many bosses men and women. I don’t think she ever had a problem with men, but she had only one woman she could work for comfortably.

That might be why we could use a woman President. No Peers and she could spend her time getting the JOB DONE!

One of my daddy’s BEST statements:

You will accomplish much, if you do not care who gets the credit.  (Many women have done that!)
