Don’t Go to Bed Angry

Posted on March 1, 2010

A word of advice: Never go to bed angry. If you have a fight with your spouse, don’t let it simmer overnight. Try taking a walk. A few step outside can help you collect your thoughts.

Maybe stop in a bar for a quick drink. Nothing expensive, just whatever works fastest. Y’know what? Fresh air is better. You should go back outside. Don’t forget your drink. If you do, there’s a place on 14th that has Jim Beam already in bags.

Find somebody to talk it out with. Usually, there are some nice ladies hanging out near the Convention Center. They’ll let you talk to them for an hour or so in a hotel room. If you get Daisy, tell her Andy sent you, because I get a discount. Pay extra, and some of them will let you look at their feet.

Sometimes, a fight with a spouse will leave you with some pent up aggression. Sub-tip: Big guys hate being called “Big Guy.” They’ll usually swing high, so duck below their center of balance and try to take them to the ground. Close contact fighting is all about the body shots, specifically ribs and kidneys.

Emergency rooms can take forever. Say you have trouble breathing, and they’ll move you to the front of the line. Don’t ask for codeine right away, or they’ll think you’re an addict.

Finally, when you get home and slip into bed, try not to wake your wife. She’ll be in a bad mood from having gone to bed angry.
