A couple in their nineties are both having problems
remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells
them that they're physically okay, but they might want
to start writing things down to help them remember.
Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets
up from his chair. "Want anything while I'm in the
kitchen?" he asks.
"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"
"Sure."
"Don't you think you should write it down so you can
remember it?" she asks.
"No, I can remember it."
"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe
you should write it down, so as not to forget it?"
He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice
cream with strawberries."
"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll
forget that, write it down?" she asks.
Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I
can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and
whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!"
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 30
minutes,
the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his
wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the
plate for a moment.
"Where's my toast ?"
