A Bottle Of
Wine
For those who are
married, were married, wish you were married, or wish you weren't married, take
note next time you open a bottle of wine:
Sally was driving
home from a trip in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman
walking on the side of the road.
As the
trip would be long, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would
like a ride.
With a silent nod
of thanks, the old Navajo woman got into the car.
She 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's in the
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."

That's Wall Street – a lesson in banking!
Once in a village in India, a man announced to the villagers that he would buy
monkeys for $10.
The villagers saw there were many monkeys, so went to the forest & started
catching them. The man bought thousands at $10. As the supply started to
diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. The man then announced that he
would now at $20. Thus they renewed their efforts & started catching monkeys
again.
Soon the supply diminished even further & people started going back to their
farms. The offer increased to $25. The supply of monkeys became so little that
it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had
to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now act as buyer, on his
behalf.
In his absence, the assistant told the villagers: 'Look at all these monkeys in
the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when
he returns from the city, you can sell them back to him for $50.'
The villagers squeezed together their savings and bought all the monkeys.
They never saw the man or his assistant again, only monkeys everywhere!
Welcome to WALL STREET.
