A terrified woman walked into a doctor’s office, desperate for a solution regarding her marriage. “Doctor, I don’t know what to do anymore,” she cried. “Every single day, my husband flies into a blind rage over the absolute smallest things, and it is completely wearing me out!”
The doctor smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, I have a foolproof, natural cure for that. The very next time your husband starts losing his temper, I want you to immediately take a large glass of water and start vigorously swishing it around in your mouth. Just swish and swish, but whatever you do, do not swallow it until he either leaves the room or completely calms down.”
Two weeks later, the woman returned to the clinic looking radiant, relaxed, and completely reborn.
“Doctor, your advice was absolute genius!” she beamed. “Every single time my husband started to explode, I quickly filled my mouth and swished the water. Within minutes, he calmed right down like a gentle lamb! It’s a miracle! Tell me, what is the scientific secret behind a simple glass of water?”
The doctor leaned back in his chair, smiled wisely, and replied:
“The water itself does absolutely nothing, my dear. It’s simply keeping your mouth shut that does the trick.”
