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.
Doug strikes again.
Oh dear. I've now read this in two places today.
ReplyDeleteDoug!!!
Mimi I actually have one you might use, it can be a blame Fran moment if you do!
I will email it.
Fran, by all means, send in your cards and letters and jokes. I sent you a private not-for-posting joke from Doug.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! What a clever idea; I do believe I will adopt it as my own.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem unnecessarily combative: a failure of Buddha-mind and the innocence of lambs: bah bah; non-violence is an active tactic in any action: with others or our "selves".
It's still quite cool in the evenings in New England, and I have a Cassoulet with homemade Duck Confit, and lotsa meat and beans in the oven, though by now I think I'll only sample this stage tonight, then see what turns out, and letcha know; it's got Andouille.

Little lamb, who made thee?
Most men must be utterly unprepared for relationships then. Poor fool depending upon his wife to get him out of bed.
