I had a couple in the car with me today. They said that they had been fighting for the past three hours and decided that they just wanted to go out and drink. Fair enough, that's going to end either really well with the drunken make-up or (and more likely) end up in drunken fighting which was going to be worse because of the three hours of fighting they had already put in.
I suggested that the best way to solve the problem would be the second they started arguing to do a shot. And a shot that they both hated, not one that one liked and the other didn't.
At this, the guy said that they had just had a shot of tequila, which was something that he liked but she hated. And he also admitted that he'd actually spat out his tequila while she had drunk hers. She got understandably upset at this and his reaction was, "See what I mean?" I said that he had given her the stick to beat him with and his response was, "I'm too honest."
That's when I let him in on a little secret:
Honesty is the second to silence. Guys, take heed.
