There was an elderly couple who in=
their old age noticed that they were getting a lot more forgetful, so they=
decided to go to the doctor. The doctor told them that they should start w=
riting things down, so they won’t forget.
They went home and the woman asked her husband to get =
her a bowl of ice cream. "You might want to write it down," she s=
aid. The husband smiled and replied, "No, I can remember that you want=
a bowl of ice cream."
She then told her husband she wanted a bowl of ice cream with whippe=
d cream. "Write it down," she told him, and again he said, "=
No, no, I can remember. You want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream.&qu=
ot;
&nbs=
p;
Then she added th=
at she’d like the bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry o=
n top. "Write it down," she told her husband and again he said, &=
quot;No, I got it. You want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a ch=
erry on top."
=
So=
, he left to get the ice cream, but spent an unusually long time in the kit=
chen, over 30 minutes. He returned and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs=
=2E His wife stared at the plate for a moment, then looked at her husband a=
nd asked, "But where’s the toast?"=
