For all of us who are married, were married, wish you were married,
wish you weren't married, or glad you never married, this is
something to smile about the next time you open a bottle of wine:
Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in the Northern
Territory when she saw an elderly Aboriginal woman walking on the
side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped
the car and asked the Aboriginal 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 Aboriginal woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking
intently at everything in the car, 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 Aboriginal woman was silent for another moment.
Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said, "Good trade."
