A woman goes to the Doctor,
worried about her husband’s temper.
The Doctor asks: "What's the
problem?
The woman says: "Doctor, I don't know what to do. Every
day my husband seems to lose his temper for no reason. It scares
me."
The Doctor says: "I have a cure for that. When it seems that
your husband is getting angry, just take a glass of water and start swishing it
in your mouth. Just swish and swish but don't swallow it until he either
leaves the room or goes to bed and is asleep."
Two weeks later the
woman comes back to the doctor looking fresh and reborn.
The woman
says: "Doctor that was a brilliant idea! Every time my husband started losing
it, I swished with water. I swished and swished, and he calmed right down! How
does a glass of water do that?"
The Doctor says: "The water itself
does nothing. It's keeping your mouth shut that does the
trick...."
