Memory
=======

An 80-year-old couple was 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!"
