Australia?
Clive James and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly Clive realised that the next day he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning flight to Britain, where he was due to make make sarcastic if inconsequential comments about Japanese game shows on telly.
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 Mrs. J would find it. The next morning Clive 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!"
