A woman goes into her doctors office. She has obviously been in a big fight. The doc asks what happened. She says, " Every time my husband comes home late from the bar we get into a huge altercation...and I always loose."

The doctor says she should try the Sweet Tea treatment. Every time he comes home late, take a big sip of sweet tea and swish it around in her mouth. Keep swishing it until after he has gone to bed and is asleep.

A month later the woman runs into the doctor at the mall. She looks much better. He asks how things are going with her husband. She replies, " I can't understand how it works, but we have not had a fight since I started swishing sweet tea every time he comes home from the bar."

The doctor replied, " See what keeping your mouth shut will accomplish."
 
There is a plant called Mother-inlaw .It has a chemical in it that will swell up your tongue if you chew it !! Same idea !!
 
It gets the nicknames “Dumb Cane” and “Mother in Law Plant” as a result of the effects of the milky sap it contains. If ingested it causes a burning sensation in the mouth, swells the tongue, and paralyzes the vocal cords, literally taking one’s voice away. It has the same affect on cats and dogs, so it’s important to keep this plant out of reach. The sap can also cause mild skin irritation so be sure to wash hands after handling
