Couple in their 90's R both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, they're told they're physically OK, but they might want to start writing things down 2 help them remember.
Later, watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair, "Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?"
"Will U get me a bowl of ice cream?"
"Sure," he answers.
"Don't U think U should write it down so U can remember it?"
"No, I can remember."
"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, 2. Maybe U should write it down so's not to forget it?"
He says, "I can remember that. U want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries."
"I'd also like whip cream. I'm certain U'll forget that, write it down?" she asks.
Irritated, he says, "I don't need 2 write it down, I can remember it!
Ice cream with strawberries & whip cream. I got it, for goodness sake!"
After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen & hands his wife a plate of bacon & eggs.
She stares at the plate and asks, "Where's my toast?"
