Bottle Of Wine




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.'

Today Is My Birthday



A woman is in the bar of a cruise ship and she asks the bartender for a scotch and two drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink, she says, "It's my birthday today, and I'm on the cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday." 

The bartender says, "Well, since it's your birthday I'll buy you a drink; in fact, I'll take care of this one for you." 

As the women finishes her drink the woman to her right says, "I guess I should buy you a drink." 

The old woman says, "All right. Bartender, I want a scotch and two drops of water." 

"All right," says the bartender. As she finishes her drink, the man to her right says, "Since I'm the only one around you that hasn't bought you a drink, I guess I might as well buy you one." 

The old woman says, "All right. Bartender I want a scotch and two drops of water." 

"Coming right up," the bartender says. As he gives her the drink he says, 

"Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the scotch and only two drops of water?" 

The old woman replies, "Sonny, you learn that when you're my age, you can hold your liquor but you sure can't hold your water."
