The Silent Treatment

Despoiler · 11-06-2004, 02:22 AM

Mike and Joan were having some problems at home and were giving each other the "silent treatment." But then Mike realized that he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 am to go Fishing with some pals.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and so lose the "war"), he wrote on a piece of paper,

"Please wake me at 5:00 am."

The next morning, Mike woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 am and that his friends would have left without him. 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."
