SPOKANE, WA — Local husband Vincent "Vince" Hampton found his voice Wednesday when, during an argument with his wife, he held up a small black paddle with the word "False" written on it. As his wife continued nagging him about all his faults, the solitary paddle bobbed up and down at specific moments during her tirade to speak for the silent man who couldn't get a word in edgewise.
"You never help out around the house," Hampton's wife claimed as the paddle was raised in defiance. "And stop waving that stupid sign around!"
Hampton's wife is reportedly not pleased with his new tactic, but was unable to successfully argue that it is insensitive and childish because her point was rendered "False" by the sign.
According to sources, the couple's children used to think their mom was right about a lot of things but now they're not so sure. "The sign says she's wrong about a lot," said little Stephanie Hampton, age 10. "I'm going to trust the sign."
Using the small sign to silently disagree with his wife has been an inspiration for other husbands who came up with similar signs that read, "Wrong," "Incorrect," and "No Way, José!"
"It saves me a lot of time," Henry Neilson, a friend of Hampton, said. "But my arm can get kind of stiff because my wife talks a lot."
At publishing time, to get around the use of signs, women have begun using the silent treatment.
