|
An elderly couple decide to go to the doctor for a checkup. The doctor
tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start
writing things down to help them remember. Later that night while watching
TV, the old man gets up from his chair. His wife asks, "Where are you going?"
"To the kitchen" he replies.
"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"
"Sure."
"Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks.
"No, I can remember it."
"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. You'd better write it down
because you know you'll forget it."
He says, "I can remember that! You want a bowl of ice cream with
strawberries."
"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, so you'd
better write it down!" she retorts.
Irritated, he say s, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it!
Leave me alone! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream ??? I got it,
for goodness sake!" Then he grumbles into the kitchen. After about 20
minutes the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of
bacon and eggs.
She stares at the plate for a moment and says - "Where's my toast?

I'm glad I'm not old enough to have fading memory THAT bad.

10Ring,
Difference between walking into the kitchen and forgetting something in 20 minutes THEN forgetting most things within a couple of days
