AH, FUGETTABOUDIT
An elderly husband and wife noticed that they were  beginning to forget many little things around the  house. They were afraid that this could be  dangerous, as one of them may accidently forget to  turn off the stove and thus cause a fire. So, they  decided to go see their physician to get some  help. Their physician told them that many people  their age find it useful to write themselves  little notes as reminders. The elderly couple  thought this sounded wonderful, and left the  doctor's office very pleased with the advice.When  they got home, the wife said, 'Dear, will you  please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice  cream? And why don't you write that down so you  won't forget?'  'Nonsense,' said the husband, 'I can remember a  dish of ice cream!'  'Well,' said the wife, 'I'd also like some  strawberries on it. You better write that down,  because I know you'll forget.'  'Don't be silly,' replied the husband.  'A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can  remember that!'  'OK, dear, but I'd like you to put some whipped  cream on top. Now you'd really better write it  down now. You'll forget,' said the wife.  'Come now, my memory's not all that bad,' said the  husband. 'No problem--a dish of ice cream with  strawberries and whipped cream.'  With that, the husband shut the kitchen door  behind him. The wife could hear him getting out  pots and pans, and making some noise inconsistent  with his preparing a dish of ice cream,  strawberries, and whipped cream.  He emerged from the kitchen about 15 minutes  later.  Walking over to his wife, he presented her  with a plate of bacon and eggs.  The wife took one  look at the plate, glanced up at her husband and  said, 'Hey, where's the toast?'
