One day a friend asked, “Why aren’t you married? Can’t you find a woman who will be a good wife?”
Fred replied, “Actually, I’ve found many women I wanted to marry, but when I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother doesn’t like them.”
His friend thinks for a moment and says, “I’ve got the perfect solution, just find a girl who’s just like your mother.”
A few months later they meet again and his friend says, “Did you find the perfect girl? Did your mother like her?”
With a frown on his face, Fred answers, “Yes, I found the perfect girl. She was just like my mother. You were right, my mother liked her very much.”
The friend said, “Then what’s the problem?”
Fred replied, “My father doesn’t like her.”
Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly woman walking on the side of the road.
As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the old woman if she would like a ride:
After a bit of small talk, while resuming the journey,
The old woman noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally.
“What’s in the bag?” Asked the woman.
Sally looked down at the brown bag and said.
“It’s a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband.”
The old woman was silent for a moment then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder said……
“Good trade.”
