An 80 year old couple were 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!"
