An older couple decide to go to the doctor for a check-up. The doctor tells them that they’re physically okay, but they might want t start writing things down to help them remember. Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. His wife asks: “where are you going?”
“To the kitchen,” he replies.
“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. You’d better write it down because you know you’ll 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, so you’d better write it down,” she retorts.
Getting irritated, he says: “I don’t need to write it down, I can remember it. Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream for goodness sake.”
After about 20 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, then asks: “where’s my toast?”
..that old, huh?
