were having problems with their memory and went to the doctor to make sure nothing was wrong. After the doctor examined them he said, "your both physically okay but you might want to start writing things down so you'll remember them." The couple thanked the doctor and left.
Later that evening they were watching tv and the old man rose from his chair.
"Where are you going?" his wife asked.
"To the kitchen", he replied.
"Well can you bring me a bowl of icecream?" she asked. "Sure," her husband replied.
"You had better write that down before you forget," she said.
Her husband waved her off. "I can remember that...a bowl of icecream."
"I also want strawberries on it. You better write that down because I know you'll forget."
"A bowl of icecream with strawberries...I got that."
"And I want whipped cream on top...here's the pad and pen because I'm certain you'll forget."
With irritation in his voice her husband replied, "I can remember that. A bowl of icecream with strawberries and whipped cream!"
After about 20 minutes the old man brought his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stared at the plate for a moment and said, "You forgot my toast!"
