THE SILENT TREATMENT
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 to 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.

We men might win the odd small point but in the big picture we have absolutely no chance. Nothing personal...it's just nature.

How come I was not surprised how this story would end??

I'd be willing to bet that she didn't wake up at 5 to put that note there. I'm betting she left it soon after he fell asleep.

You're probably right Tony; that way she could just lie there all night smiling and rehearsing her "innocent" response, savoring what she had done while waiting for his reaction. Pure evil....lol.

Oh you're completely correct Jack - no doubt. But as you, and every married man knows, it was HIS fault that started the silent treatment in the first place. The rat! No matter that she burnt the expensive tenderloin filets that he bought and seasoned to perfection. Forget that she used an inferior brand of vermouth in his Bombay Sapphire martinis, and PLEASE overlook the fact that she insisted that he eat her overcooked Brussels Sprouts with kale wrapping. In was ALL his doing! The MISERABLE rat!@perrone1 I'd be willing to bet that she didn't wake up at 5 to put that note there. I'm betting she left it soon after he fell asleep

Apologies David. We not only hijacked the funny thread but tortured it and left it for dead on the side of the road...in the rain. Muddy and forlorn.

@perrone1 Tony; a man can forget and forgive burnt steaks and gag inducing sprouts and the like, but to use an inferior vermouth......sacrilege! Not to condone domestic violence but I'm sorry.... the woman deserves to be shaken and stirred.

Right! See what I mean. A $50. bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin with all of its miraculous botanicals and the damsel applies a $2.49 vermouth, no doubt made from day old vintage white Ripple wine??? OMG, I have to leave - I don't wish anyone to see me this way..................@perrone1 Tony; a man can forget and forgive burnt steaks and gag inducing sprouts and the like, but to use an inferior vermouth......sacrilege!
