Day: June 8, 2017

Each evening bird lover Tom stood in his backyard, hooting like an owl and, one night, an owl finally called back to him. For a year, the man and his feathered friend hooted back and forth. He even kept a log of their ‘conversations.’ Just as he thought he was on the verge of a breakthrough in interspecies communication, his wife had a chat with her neighbor. ‘My husband spends his nights calling out to owls,’ she said. ‘That’s odd,’ the neighbor replied. ‘So does mine.’

With today’s focus on exercising, I tried to talk my husband into joining me on a 20 minute walk each night. One evening after reading an article called, “Brighten your sex life,” I felt I had a new argument to present. I told my husband, according to what I read, if you just walked 20 minutes a day it would improve his sex life. He replied, “Who do I know that is 20 minutes away?”

Before you get into an argument you should walk a mile in your antagonist’s shoes. That way you will be a mile away and you will have their shoes.
