A Moving Speech
Eleven people - 10 men and a woman - were lifted to apparent safety from the roof of a burning building by grabbing a rope dropped by a rescue helicopter. There was a problem. As the chopper labored to gain altitude, it quickly became clear that the rope they were holding wasn't quite strong enough to carry 11 people. The solution was clear, they realized one of them had to let go or they'd all perish.
Unable to decide on who'd make the ultimate sacrifice by letting go - and there were no volunteers, an unselfish decision had to be made, and quickly.
Finally, with everyone clinging tightly to the rope, the woman gave a touching speech when she said: "I'll let go because, as a woman, I'm used to giving up everything for my husband and kids, or for men in general, and for always making sacrifices with little in return."
As soon as she finished, all the men began clapping their hands.
Thanks for visiting. -Bob toujours en vedette
