Wife abuse
A woman goes to the Doctor in Glasgow, worried about her husband's
temper and threatening manner.
The Doc asks: "What's the problem, Janet?
The woman says: "Well Doctor Cameron, I don't know what to do. Every
time my hubbie comes home drunk, he threatens to slap me around."
The Doctor says: "Aye, well... I have a real good cure for that. When
your husband arrives home intoxicated, just take a wee glass of water
and start swishing it in your mouth. Just swish and swish but don't
swallow it until he goes to bed and is sound asleep."
Two weeks later she comes back to the doctor looking fresh and reborn.
She says: "Doctor that was brilliant! EVERY time my hubbie came home
drunk, I swished with water. I swished and swished, and he didn't
touch me even once! Tell me Doc...what's the secret? How's the water do
that?"
The Doctor says: "Janet hen, it's really no big secret. The water
does bugger all - it's keeping your mouth shut that does the trick..."
