The mike was driving home

The mike was driving home from a long business trip in Northern Arizona, when he saw an elderly man walking on the side of the road.

As the trip was a long and quiet one, he stopped the car and asked the man if he would like a ride.

With a silent nod of thanks, the old man got into the car Resuming the journey, Mike tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the man.

The old man just sat silently, looking intently at everything he saw, studying every little detail, until he noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Mike.

“What in bag?” asked the old man.

Mike looked down at the brown bag and said: “Oh, it’s a bottle of wine I got it for my wife.”

The man was silent for another moment or two.

Then, speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, he said: “Good trade!”
