An 80 year old couple were having problems remembering things,
so they decided to go to their doctor to get checked out to make sure nothing
was wrong with them.
When they arrived at the doctors, they explained to the doctor
about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple
out, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might want to start
writing things down and make notes to help them remember things.
The couple thanked the doctor and left. Later that night while
watching TV, the man got up from his chair and his wife asked, "Where are you
going?" He replied, "To the kitchen." She asked, "Will you get me a bowl of ice
cream?" He replied, "Sure." She then asked him, "Don't you think you should
write it down so you can remember it?" He said, "No, I can remember that."
She then said, "Well I would also like some strawberries on
top. You had better write that down because I know you'll forget that." He said,
"I can remember that, you want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries." She
replied, "Well I also would like whipped cream on top. I know you will forget
that so you better write it down."
With irritation in his voice, he said, "I don't need to write
that down! I can remember that." He then fumes into the kitchen. After about 20
minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.
She stared at the plate for a moment and said angrily: "I TOLD you to write it
down! You forgot my toast!"
