Wake Up Call

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. One evening the man realized that he would need his wife to wake him at 5.00 am for an early morning business flight for an out of state conference.

Not wanting to be the first to break the silence, he wrote on a piece of paper, “Please wake me at 5:00 am.”

The next morning the man woke up to discover it was after 9:00am, and that he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife did not wake him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.

It said: “It is 5:00am; wake up.”
