Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car. Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally. "What in bag?" asked the old woman. Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband." The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said: "Good trade."

I luv the "wise words" - and feel sure many a woman - would so agree with her comment....
Alas for any male partner - it is an "ouch" moment....
Great post - Carla.
LOL! Um. Yeah!
hehe, love that photo
A hahahaha!
Yeah, they both age well for awhile and then suddenly everything turns sour!
nice turn of a phrase.
Philosophy of Life, I'm glad you have a sense of humour ;)
Chani, Ha, ha!
Tracey, Thanks. A laugh is always good.
Carrie, Sounds like you're having a good chuckle.
VE, Are you talking about women and wine? Men and wine? Or relationships in general?
Camplin, It's the pirouette in turns of phrases, isn't it?
LOL
That is so funny. I could go for a bottle of wine. I think I will just buy it, and keep Sirdar around. Thanks for the laugh.
I think it would at least take a case ---- of something very expensive.
Very good, loved it.. lol;-)
Best wishes
Annie
Sirdar, Laughter, sweet music to my ears.
Dawn, I think that is probably a wise move on your part. Enjoy the wine.
Pamela, I'm inclined to agree.
Annie, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Laughter is a wonderful thing.
Ha! She's so wrong. Not a good trade at all.
A GREAT trade!

Pinks, So it is, so it is.

Steffi, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Guilty Secret, worth a few laughs, isn't it?
Thanks for the laugh!! Ha.
this really made me laugh. i'll drink to that!
Mark, Glad it made you giggle.
Pandave, It's worth a good guffaw, isn't it? Cheers.
So this is the risk we face...being traded for a glass of wine...
Hope you are OK.
Good night and good luck.
Fede, Only those men who drive women to drink risk such a fate. I certainly can't imagine that you could be lumped in with that crowd. Life is extremely busy at the moment...need to schedule in time to breathe. But aside from that, the universe is undoubtedly unfolding as it should. How are you?
