Shutting up

Last week, while the Complete and Total Loser's car was in the repair shop getting minor damage repaired, the Loser went three days and seven hours without saying a single word to anyone. No phone calls, no "Thanks" to cashiers. Nothing. He spoke to the koi in the little pond in the backyard, but that doesn't count. Even if they were sentient, they wouldn't be able to hear him. 
The only thing that troubles the Loser about this is that it doesn't trouble him in the least, and he knows that's unnatural.

People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day
But Mister Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.
