THE BOTTLE OF WINE

Baits OutBaits Out Posts: 12,328 AG
For all of us who are married, were married, wish you were married, or wish you weren't married, this is something to smile about the next time you see a bottle of wine:

Tom was driving home from a business trip in  Northern Arizona when he saw an elderly Navajo man walking on the side of the road.

As the trip was a long and quiet one, he stopped the car and asked the Navajo man if he would like a ride.

With a silent nod of thanks, the man got into the car.

Resuming the journey, Tom tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo man. The old man just sat silently, looking intently at everything he saw, studying every little detail, until he noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Tom.

'What in bag?' asked the old man.

Tom looked down at the brown bag and said, 'It's  bottle of wine. I got it for my wife.'

The Navajo man was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, he said:

'Good trade.....'

    Not my blame if you do something that matches what I don't like.

    An old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial pipe and eyeing two US government officials sent to interview him.
    "Chief Two Eagles," asked one official, "you have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his material wealth. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."
    The chief nodded in agreement. The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"
    The chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then calmly replied, "When white man found the land, Indians were running it.
    No taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, women did all the work, medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, all night having sex."

    Then the chief leaned back and smiled, "White man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that.
