Silent Treatment

The Silent Treatment

Gary and Pat were having some problems at home and were giving each other the "silent treatment." But then Gary realized that he would need hiswife to wake him at 5:00 am for an early morning drive with some pals to agolf match.

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, Gary woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 am and that his friends would have left for the golf course without him.

Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't awakened himwhen he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 am. Wake up."

Men simply are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
