The Prime Minister of a busy European country was known for his discipline—up at 5 AM, meetings all day, crises handled before lunch.
But one evening, his wife finally had enough.
She stood in the doorway, arms crossed, and said,
“Listen, darling… you run an entire nation, but you haven’t found time for me in weeks.”
The Prime Minister sighed, checked his watch, and replied,
“I know, I know… things have been hectic. But don’t worry—I’ve scheduled something special tonight.”
Her eyes lit up. “Really?”
He nodded proudly.
“Yes. 11:30 PM sharp. Fifteen-minute slot. Fully optimized.”
She smiled, walked over slowly… and whispered in his ear:
“Oh, sweetheart… if you think this is a fifteen-minute meeting…”
She leaned back, grabbed his tie, and added:
“…you’re about to face the strongest opposition of your career.”
