The Silent Treatment
Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2003 10:13 am
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 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 9:00 AM and
that
he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his
wife
hadn't awakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The
paper
said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
