婦女說，每天我先生無緣無故的發脾氣，我好害怕。
醫生說，我有一個處方，每當妳先生即將生氣時，妳就拿一杯水，吸一下到嘴裡，但不要吞下去，直到他離開房間了或者去睡了。
兩星期後，婦女回到醫生處，看起來很清爽如再生一樣。
婦女說，真是太好的主意了，每次我先生要發脾氣了我就去吸水，吸水，他就馬上平靜下來。爲何一杯水能夠如此呢？
醫生說，水沒啥作用，它祇是讓妳嘴巴閉起來。
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, and 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 falls 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.
