I thought it was funny.... my wife thought it was extremely funny.. after spending last week with her parents down south... they are both in their 80's... and argue constantly...., well, dad just sit's there, and finally leaves the room... poor guy...
Some people just have no sense of humor... albeit a "narrow band of humor"...
maybe suggesting "both parties" take a shot of vinegar and water would work better...
after all,
"It's the solution that most doctor's recommend"
