An elderly couple were having trouble remembering things. The man advised the woman that he thought they should see a doctor. Both agreed and went to the doctor.
The doctor stated that was no big problem and that it is easily cured. “Get yourself a tablet and when you think of something write it on the tablet.”
The couple returned home. Later that evening the man asked the woman if she would kindly get him a glass of ice water. She said sure and headed for the kitchen.
The man stopped his wife and told her to write it down so she wouldn’t forget. The lady replied, “I don’t think I will forget the glass of ice water.”
The man then asked the woman if she would also get him a dish of vanilla ice cream. She answered that she would. The man told her to write this down so that she wouldn’t foget.
The lady answered that she didn’t think she would forget the glass of ice water and the vanilla ice cream.
The man then asked the woman if he could have strawberries on the vanilla ice cream. The woman replied that she would get the strawberries too.
The man yelled for her to write this down. The lady responded by saying that she could remember the ice water, the vanilla ice cream and the strawberries and that it wasn’t neccessary to write it down.
The man asked if she would be kind enough to put some whipped cream on the strawberries. The lady said that she could do that for him.
The man asked the woman to write this down so that she would not forget. The lady angrily said that she didn’t think she needed to write this down because she could remember the ice water, the vanilla ice cram, strawberries and the whipped cream.
About a half hour or forty-five minutes goes by and the lady returned from the kitchen with a huge platter of scambled eggs, hash browns with a slab of bacon and several link sausages.
The man looked at the woman and said, “I told you to write it down. You know damn well that I wanted toast with that”.
