A couple were having a bad patch. They agreed it was best not to talk at all as everything seemed to turn into a row. Their truce was successful and they got used to communicating through written messages.

One day Jim wrote a note to his wife asking her to wake him up the next day as he had an early flight to catch. This wasn’t inconvenient to her as she was an early riser. She wrote back that she’d do as he asked.

The next day Jim woke up two hours late for his flight. Swearing and cursing he was just about to have a row with her when a piece of paper fluttered to the ground.

“Wake up! It’s 6 a.m.”
