Silent Bob is one of my best friends. He never speaks a word and when he has to communicate he carries a notebook and pen to ride his responses. He has not spoken a word now for over 8 years. I asked why this was and he told me that he had been married before and that his wife never shut up. And since she was a big and mean woman he was afraid to interrupt her. And just got out of the habit of speaking.
So essentially, fear and common sense prevailed.
