the silent treatment

I really suck at "trying" to do the silent treatment. I cant NOT say anything. Ive tried to be silent with Russell, but I just have to have my say. But I thought this was funny anyway.


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 and 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.
