An 80-year-old-couple are having
a problem remembering things,
so they decide to see their doctor
to find out if anything is wrong
with them.
They see the doctor and tell him
about the memory problems they've
been having.
After a check-up, the doctor tells
them that they are physically fine
but might want to start writing
things down to help them remember
things. They thank the doctor
and leave.
Later that night while watching T.V,
the old man gets up from his chair.
"Where are you going?" asks his wife.
"To the kitchen," he replies.
"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"
she asks. "Sure," he says.
She says "Maybe you should write it
down so you'll remember."
"I'll remember," he says
"Well I would also like some
strawberries on top," she says.
"You had better write that down cause
I know you'll forget."
"I can remember that," he says, as he
begins to loose his patience.
"You want a bowl of ice cream with
strawberries."
"I would also like whip cream on top,"
she adds, "I know you will forget
that so you better write it down."
Hopping mad he says, "I don't need
to write that down! I will remember
just fine." He fumes into the
kitchen to get the food.
After about 20 minutes he returns
from the kitchen and hands her a
plate of bacon and eggs.
She stares at the plate for a moment
and says, "You forgot my toast."
