You ever bothered by your memory...or lack of it? It used to be limited to older adults but it seems to have afflicted a lot of younger folks today. I have lapses at awkward moments, like when I am introducing a person I have known for a lifetime. Here is a joke from Paul Powell's book, "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Retirement"
An elderly couple was sitting on the porch one evening and the wife said, "You know what I'd like?"
The husband said,"No", and she said, "I'd like some vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup on top." The old man said, "Okay, I'll get you some.". His wife said, "You better write it down or you'll forget!". He said, "I won't write it down and I won't forget."
In a few minutes he came back to the front porch and had a plate with two scrambled eggs and an order of toast. The old lady disgustedly said, "I TOLD YOU TO WRITE IT DOWN! YOU FORGOT THE BACON!"
Have you forgotten anything lately?
