The Silent Treatment.

A man and his wife were having problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.

This had gone on for several weeks when the man realized he would need his wife to wake him up at 5:00 A.M. for an early flight to Sydney.

Not wanting to be the first one to break the silence, he finally wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 A.M."

The next morning the man woke up only to discover it was 9:00 A.M., and he had missed his business flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn''t woken him, when he noticed a piece of paper beside his bed. It said...in big bold, black print... "IT''S 5:00 A.M., WAKE UP!!!"
