I agree that the context of the following is sexist, but it was worded
this way in the book "Fun with Figures":

	You're on an island at a fork and wish to know how to get to the
	village, and luckily a woman is at the fork.

	Women on this island are more reliable than women at home, in
	that rather than you not knowing whether they will tell the truth,
	they alternatively lie and sooth.

	Ask this woman ONE question to ascertain which road leads to
	the village.
