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 5am for an early morning business flight.

Not wanting to be the first one to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, “Please wake me up at 5am.” He left it where he knew she would find it.

The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9am and he had missed his flight.

Furious, he was about to go see why his wife hadn’t woken him when he noticed a piece of paper by his bed.

The paper said, “It is 5am. Wake up.”

Men are not equipped for these kind of contests.
