Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 06, 2018

Garfunkel and Oates tried this on their short-lived sitcom. Noticing that the girls who never spoke always seemed to have plenty of dates, they decided to go mute. At the end of the episode, Kate discovered that her new boyfriend thought she was mentally handicapped.

Go ahead, sit back, close your mouth and then move your jaw just enough to feel the muscles work. Then do your best to just relax those muscles. Don’t move them at all. Relax ‘em for a while. You’ll be surprised at the subtle relief it brings…..Almost makes you want to go mute for a while…….Go ahead……..I dare ya…….

The sound of silence – if only it were that easy …

I dunno, some people seem to seek out quiet folks and talk at them forever… it’s especially fun when one of them is working with customers and the result is a big ol’ line behind them.

There are soooooo many people i wish would also try this policy out. just Shhhhhhhhhh

Danae, Dad just outsmarted you for MAYBE the first time ever…

The dream of middle school teachers everywhere.

I’m having trouble deciding between “The Wise Old Owl” nursery rhyme or the famous Edmund Burke quote.

The world may not shut up, but you’ll often be amazed at what you hear.

And if talking wasn’t bad enough, somebody had to invent twitter.

To repeat a recent quote: The unluckiest insolvent in the world is the man whose expenditure of speech is too great for his income of ideas -Christopher Morley, writer (1890-1957)

Awful lot of those people around

And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made.

No one said “Silence is golden”, so I’ll say it.

Keep your mouth closed and you’ll stay out of trouble. Proverbs 21:23

I wish!

You talk too much

You worry me to death

You talk too much

You even worry my pet

You just talk

Talk too much

“We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” – Epictetus

The secret, is not just to keep quiet, but listen to the silence, and enjoy it.

“To remain in silence is to give in to ignorance” A.E. Newman III

You can’t learn anything by running your mouth.

The rest is silence.

Silence is golden.

Tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.

Aren’t we all sorry for most of the things we have said…And regret the things we should have said…..
