For a Year!

[–] Jennie_Portrait (804) 3 years ago

Actually— I think I could do it...

[–] doug65oh (205) 3 years ago

You think so, Jennie? Not one single word??

[–] Jennie_Portrait (804) 3 years ago

Doug- I am a pretty quiet person. That being said— I do type a lot... I could not have my computer taken away.

[–] doug65oh (205) 3 years ago

Oh I understand that completely, Jennie - as am I. Complete silence for a year, however ... even I couldn't do that.

I'm a very quiet person also, so I could probably avoid talking to other people, but I talk to myself all the time when I'm alone. I don't think I could stop that.

[–] Jennie_Portrait (804) 3 years ago

My husband (“Mr. Portrait”) has often said that I talk to myself. I didn’t think it was that noticeable. But if that is not allowed, then no— I could not stay quiet for a year.

Well, they did have microphones in that room he was in.

[–] bigbadwolf666 (4707) 3 years ago

He cheated.

And the guy didnt have the money.

[–] shannongr (187) 3 years ago

True, both were at fault.

Very O. Henry ending.

[–] bigbadwolf666 (4707) 3 years ago

Naw.

I Wouldve killed him if he didnt have the money. The deal was he wouldnt say a word to which he did. There was no other stipulation.

[–] shannongr (187) 3 years ago

True, but didn't he choose to have the operation? The bettor didn't make him do that. He was certainly wrong, but am trying to look at it less black and white.
