A man and his wife were having some problems at home
and were giving each other the silent treatment. The
next week, the man realized that he would need his wife
to wake him up at 5:00 AM for an early morning business
flight to Chicago. Not wanting to be the first to break
the silence (AND LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
“Please wake me at 5:00 AM” The next morning the man woke
up, only to discover it was 9 AM and that he had missed
his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his
wife hadn’t woken him, when he noticed a piece of paper
by his bed that said, “It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.”
