A man and his wife were having some problems at home

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,

he finally 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 9.00am, 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 the bed … it said… “It is 5.00am; wake up.”
