A long old joke
An 80 year old couple were having trouble remembering things so they decided to see
their doctor and get checked out to make sure there was nothing wrong with them.
When they arrived at the doctors office, they explained to the doctor the problem
they were having with their memory.
After the doctor examined them, he explained to them that there was nothing wrong
with them physically. He suggested they write things down or take notes when they
wanted to remember things.
The old couple thanked the doctor and left for home.
That evening, the couple were relaxing watching TV. The old man then got up from his
chair and his wife asks: "Where are you going?"
He replies: "To the kitchen."
She asks: "Will you bring me a bowl of ice cream?"
He replies: "Sure."
She says: "Don't you think you should write it down to make sure you remember?"
He replies: "No, I can remember that."
She then says: "Put some strawberries on top - and you better write that down because
I know you will forget that."
He says: "I can remember that, - you want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries."
She replies: "Well, I would also like whip cream on top, - I know you will forget that so
you better write that down ."
With irratation in his voice, he says: "I don't need to write that down, I can remember."
He then fumes into the kitchen.
After about 20 minutes, he comes out of 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!" |
