A man and his wife were having some problems at
home and were giving each other the silent
treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the
next day, he would need his wife to wake him at
5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.

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 " He left it where he knew
she would find it.

The next morning, the man woke up, only to
discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his
flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his
wife hadn't wakened 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.
