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.
Next morning, the man wakes up, only to discover it is 9.00 am and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why she hadn't woken him up, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said:

"It's 5.00 am - wake up".

Men are not equipped for these kind of contests.

When the train came out of the tunnel, Claudia Schiffer and the Englishman were sitting as if nothing had happened and the Frenchman had his hand against his face as if he had been slapped there.
The Frenchman was thinking: 'The English fella must have kissed Claudia Schiffer and she missed him and slapped me instead.' Claudia Schiffer was thinking:
'The French fella must have tried to kiss me and actually kissed the Englishman and got slapped for it.' And the Englishman was thinking:
'This is great. The next time the train goes through a tunnel I'll make another kissing noise and slap that French bastard again.'
