A man went to the doctor, worried about his wife’s hot temper.
“Doctor,” he said, “every day my wife seems to lose her temper for no reason. It’s starting to scare the life outta me!”
The doctor replied, “I’ve got just the cure. When she starts to get angry, take a glass of water and start swishing it around your mouth. Don’t swallow it; just keep swishing until she either calms down or leaves the room.”
Two weeks later, the man came back looking happy and relaxed.
“Doctor, that was brilliant!” he said. “Every time my wife started yelling, I swished and swished, and she calmed right down! But how does the water do that?”
The doctor smiled and said, “It’s not the water. It’s you keeping your mouth shut that does the trick.”
