The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were experiencing some difficulties at home, resulting in them giving each other the silent treatment.
Realizing he needed his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight, the man opted not to break the silence first. Instead, he wrote a note asking her to wake him and left it where he knew she would see it.
The following morning, the man woke up at 9:00 AM, having missed his flight. Furious, he was about to confront his wife when he noticed a note by the bed saying, ‘It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.’
This scenario highlights how men may not be well-equipped for such silent contests.
