I Can Remember That

An 80-year old couple were having problems rememberingthings, so they decided to go to the doctor and get checked to make sure nothing was wrong with them.

They explained the problem they were having to the doctor. After checking the couple out, the doctor tells the couple that they are physically okay, but that they might want to start writing things down and keep notes to help them remember things. The couple thanked the doctor and left.

Later that night while watching TV, the man gets up from his chair and his wife asks, "Where are you going?"

"To the kitchen," he replies.

"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" she asks.

"Sure," he replies.

"Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks him.

"No, I can remember that," he says.

"Well I also would like some strawberries on top. You had better write that down cause I know you'll forget that."

"I can remember that, you want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries," he says.

She replies, "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 says, "I don't need to write that down I can remember that."

He then storms into the kitchen.
After about 20 minutes he returns and hands her a plate of bacon and eggs.

She stares at the plate for a moment and says,
"Darnit Howard, you forgot my toast!"
