Crossing a River

Unknown | Unknown | Unknown

[punster]

Three men were hiking through a forest when they came upon a large raging, violent river.

Needing to get to the other side, the first man prayed: "God, please give me the strength to cross the river."

Poof! ... God gave him big arms and strong legs and he was able to swim across in about 2 hours, having almost drowned twice.

After witnessing that, the second man prayed: "God, please give me strength and the tools to cross the river"

Poof! ... God gave him a rowboat and strong arms and strong legs and he was able to row across in about an hour after almost capsizing once.

Seeing what happened to the first two men, the third man prayed: "God, please give me the strength, the tools and the intelligence to cross the river"

Poof! ... He was turned into a woman. She checked the map, hiked one hundred yards up stream and walked across the bridge.

Differences in ways men and women solve problems.

Who built the bridge?

Assuming there is a bridge and it's less than two days march up river through steaming jungle.

Damn straight.

I’m sorry...did I miss something here? What was that story all about? That the woman is smarter than the man? Sorry, made no sense to me. I now see why the author is unknown. :)

What a load of cultural Marxist crap. Wrong board, bub.

[ExtremeUnction]

No man steps into the same river twice. Because it's not the same river, and he's not the same man.

So the woman read the map...? YEAH, RIGHT...!

[Boxen]

You’re kidding, right? It’s a joke.

[gaijin]

The story has extremely serious omissions; where are the parts about her looking on from shore, screaming that each of the two guys are DOING IT ALL WRONG....?

Hillary’s going to claim a life experience base on this joke.

[Smokin' Joe]

A woman cam up to the bank of an impassable cataract. On the other side, she saw a man cutting wood. She hollered across "How do I get to the other side?"

He looked up and hollered back "You are on the other side!".

Weak story — women can’t read maps.

[redstateconfidential]

Two girls that work for me will not read, use or follow a map.Nor will they ask directions,they call me and say,we are near a barn,..we just saw a red truck parked with a for sale sign, we passed that turn but thought it would come up again(?).

[Sherman Logan]

Women don’t read maps. If there isn’t someone around to ask directions of, she will remain lost.

but the guys had fun!

[SampleMan]

But there was no man there to tell her which way “North” was, so how did she read the map?

[oldenuff2no]

What it didn’t say is that she turned up river and then 180 degrees and crossed another river. After that she argued for two days that it was the guys that crossed the wrong river and were going in the wrong direction. She is still trying to tell time on her compass.

Moral of the Story: Woman have to pray for intelligence.
