That picture reminds me of a story.
A White Lady picks up an Old Navajo Lady Hitch Hiker on a lonely New Mexico road. She directs the Indian to sit in front because the back seat has two cases of Bud Light taking up all the room.
The ride in silence for a while, and then the Navajo woman says, "Much beer.""I got it for my husband," says the White lady.
The Navajo Woman smiles softly to herself, and then with the Wisdom of the Ages says,
"Good Trade."
