I laughed out loud several times during this story. It has a dark humor to it, nicely written in a very easy and droll way. As the narrator told his story, I felt his frustration, pain and even hatred about his wife and her infernal little anecdote, and I really shouldn't have been amused by this man's suffering. But I was.This couple fight in a way only the long-married and long-suffering can do, with a kind of passive aggression that builds up anger and resentment on both sides. And as this husband approaches his breaking point, the reader is sitting there in a ringside seat, waiting to see just who would have the final word. I was very interested in how, or even if, this man would succeed in shutting his wife up. The author kept me completely hooked to the very end, which was delivered with a cleverly ironic twist.This Kindle Single is a good laugh, just funny and smartly written. It'll probably take about twenty-minutes of your time, but it's well worth it.
