A friend of mine once told me a story about one girl who had entered a beauty pageant. The girl was very beautiful, figure like a coca-cola bottle, smile like pennies falling from heaven ... This girl waltzed her way through the competition (or did she cat-walk her way?). Then came the part where they were asked questions.

One of the Judges asked, "what is your hobby"?

She gave the question a little thought and then answered, "I don't hobby".

The entire room burst into laughter. The judge followed, "you don't hobby!?".

She thought ah, that's why they were laughing. So she quickly replied, "I hobby he (then)".

Last month we celebrated with women on the 100th International Women's Day under the theme “Equal access to education, training, science and technology: Pathway to decent work for women”.
