>THIRD WORLD ENCOUNTER
>
> A boy and his father visiting from a third world country
> were at a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they
> saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could
> move apart and back together again. (i.e. elevator doors)
>
> The boy asked his father, "What is this, Father?". The
> father responded, "Son I have never seen anything like this
> in my life, I don't know what it is!".
>
> While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an
> old lady in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and
> pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled
> between them into a small room. The walls closed and the
> boy and his father watched small circles of lights with
> numbers above the walls light up. They continued to watch
> the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls
> opened up again and a voluptuous 24-year old woman stepped
> out.
>
> The father said to his son, "Go get your mother".
