The more you open your mouth, the more you suck.

I attended a wedding banquet last night and it was very interesting and very distracting at the same time.

Let’s first talk about the interesting part, it is a Polish Gloom and a Chinese Bride, so there is a lot of fun and neat stuffs to see. They have both the Traditional Chinese Tea ceremony and the Traditional Bread Breaking ceremony, both sides of the families and their friends sang some traditional wedding song, the evening has a Medieval theme, and the DJ is definitely above average, all and all, a boat load of fun.

Now come my favorite part, the distracting part, or the bashing of the distracting part.
Since I am some sort of an outside friend from their social circle, I got to sit with a bunch of people that I don’t know (actually I only know 2 people from the banquet other than the couple). From my estimate, they are approximately 40-50 years old. Not than I have anything against Mid-aged woman in general, I really hope that they can just like shut up. It is okay that you don’t know a lot of stuff, have a very narrow viewpoint and extremely ethnocentric, you are who you are and I don’t know you, so I don’t care. But please shut up at a public setting, not only you are showing what kind of person, you are making your husband look bad, and one of them is the wife of a Reverence for cry out loud.

So when I left at the end of the night, I said to my wife“ I told you that you should go and learn some stuffs, or else you will be like them in 20 years.”She replied “At least I will keep my mouth shut when I don’t know something.”

Well, I guess so.

Moral of the story? If you don’t know something, either learn it or shut your trap.
There is also a side story from that night, I will talk about it next time.
