Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 19, 2010

It’s a formidable female weapon…

Women.

Hey, as a driver, you should be glad that she’s not speaking!

What happens if you say that out loud?

I have an ex-boyfriend who thought he was punishing me by giving me the silent treatment - on the contrary, I loved it! A whole day or two without him nagging at me!

Depends who’s giving it. From my mother-in-law it would be welcomed relief.

” ”

“If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.”

Man’s greatest coup has been to pretend that the “Silent Treatment” is a formidable female weapon. “As a matter of fact, you look fat in ALL of your dresses. Oh please, oh please, don’t give me the silent treatment!!!”

Perhaps she’s just waiting for him to shift it out of park and begin driving. Nothing outside the car has moved either.

If that’s another parked vehicle up ahead, perhaps both are being polite, trying to let the other go first?

Or playing the slowest ever game of chicken.

Sometimes silence is indeed golden.

…and I’m going to sit right here until she speaks to me

ushindi, that urban dictionary thing was priceless…..how would our tulsa talk-a-lot be any better be defined….. hey, maybe we are all being hoodwinked—maybe our dotyguy read that definition last year and invented this fictional character that states the obvious and meanders about his past life and then sits back and enjoys people like us taking shots at his creation……that he named (wink wink) doty!!!!!

ya think?

nahhhh, me neither

Apologies to the Four Seasons

“Silence is golden, when your wife won’t speak Silence is golden, is what we all do seek”.

Incessant nagging, followed by the silent treatment and the cold shoulder. No thank you dear. How about a hand on the knee, followed by a warm embrace, then a warm bed? Yep, option B.

For some reason, the guy reminds me of Fred MacMurray from the back…

nighthawks: Glad you liked it - as I said, it was passed to me and I just passed it on…

nighthawks/Ushindi: check http://whitepages.anywho.com. for first and last name in Tulsa. There is such a person, but it could be coincidental. Me, I’d feel better if we were being scammed. It would be a hilarious joke on us. But I doubt it. We don’t know what’s behind this, and we should try to be kind. It’s difficult sometimes. I’ve been stung pretty badly, but managed to shrug it off. As far as the stories go… no harm. Just suggestin’…

Look doty up in Websters. It’ll explain a lot.

Let it rest, guys. I ignore it now.

And here’s a famous cartoonist
