Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men and one woman..  The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave, because otherwise they were all going to fall.  They weren't able to name that person, until the woman gave a very touching speeh.  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 their hands......

Sorry couldn't resist.

she would have also been smart enoough to keep a few of them around to fix the plumbing, paint her toes, etc. etc.
