Chap goes into a bar and orders a vodka and Coke.<\/p>\n
The barman serves him.<\/p>\n
The man drinks it and orders another.<\/p>\n
This goes on for a while, until the chap begins to slow down.<\/p>\n
The barman asks,<\/p>\n
\u201cIs there anything the matter, sir?\u201d<\/p>\n
The chap replies,<\/p>\n
\u201cI had an enormous argument with the wife. She said she won’t speak to me for a month.\u201d<\/p>\n
The barman looks sympathetic.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds rough.\u201d<\/p>\n
The chap nods.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is.\u201d<\/p>\n
He takes another sip.<\/p>\n
Then he smiles.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I have four days left.\u201d<\/p>\n
The barman stares at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cFour days left until what?\u201d<\/p>\n
The chap grins.<\/p>\n
\u201cUntil the month is over.\u201d<\/p>\n
The barman laughs.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you’re counting the days until she speaks to you again?\u201d<\/p>\n
The chap shakes his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
He raises his glass.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have four days of peace left.\u201d<\/p>\n
The barman bursts out laughing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why are you drinking?\u201d<\/p>\n
The chap looks at his glass and says,<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m practicing for when she starts talking again.\u201d<\/p>\n
The barman nods.<\/p>\n
\u201cFair enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
The chap orders another vodka and Coke.<\/p>\n
The barman pours it.<\/p>\n
Then he asks,<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes she always stay angry that long?\u201d<\/p>\n
The chap sighs.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe once went silent for three days.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat bad?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe forgot why she was angry.\u201d<\/p>\n
The barman laughs.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what happened then?\u201d<\/p>\n
The chap smiles.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe remembered.\u201d<\/p>\n
The barman shakes his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cMarriage, eh?\u201d<\/p>\n
The chap raises his glass.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo the only relationship where you can win an argument\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
He pauses.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026and still lose.\u201d<\/p>\n
They both laugh.<\/p>\n
Then the chap looks at the clock.<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, make that two more.\u201d<\/p>\n
The barman asks,<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo more what?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cVodkas.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
The chap sighs.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe just texted me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did she say?\u201d<\/p>\n
He looks at his phone.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018We need to talk.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The barman slowly reaches for the bottle.<\/p>\n
\u201cMake that three.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
