THE GEOGRAPHY OF WOMEN
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 America, 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 aging
but still a warm and desirable place to visit.
Between 41 and 50, she is like Yugoslavia, lost the
war, haunted by past mistakes. 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, they become Afghanistan. Most everyone knows
where it is, but no one wants to go there.
THE GEOGRAPHY OF MEN
Between 15 and 70 a man is like Iraq, ruled by a
******.
