h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

my sister sent me this today and it brought a to my eye



By the time the Lord made woman, he was into his sixth day of working
overtime. An angel appeared and said, "Why are you spending so much time on this one?"

And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her? She has to
be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts,
all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap
that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure
anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart-and she will do
everything with only two hands."

The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only two hands!? No way!
And that's just on the standard model? That's too much work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish."

"But I won't," the Lord protested. "I am so close to finishing this
creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself
when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days."

The angel moved closer and touched the woman. "But you have made her so
soft, Lord." "She is soft," the Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."

"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel. The Lord replied, "Not
only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and
negotiate." The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched
the woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I
told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."

That's not a leak," the Lord corrected, "that's a tear!" "What's the
tear for?" the angel asked. The Lordsaid, "The tear is her way of
expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,
her loneliness, her grief and her pride."

The angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord. You thought of
everything! Woman is truly amazing."And she is! Women have strengths
that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they
hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh
when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand
up to injustice. They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe
there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.They love
unconditionally.They cry when their children excel and cheer when their
friends get awards.They are happy when they hear about a birth or a
wedding.Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss
of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no
strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They'll drive, fly, walk,
run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR
WORTH

It puts a lot of things in perpective, and came at the right time (how did she know), I had just been told at work that I was unimportant and should be grateful for getting 6 weeks work!

They are pillows of peace, and angels of mercy. Woman is nature's masterpiece.
