#1) A couple in their 90s are both having problems remembering things.
During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically OK, 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.
"Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks.
"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. Maybe you should write it
down so you won't forget it?"
He says "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream
w/strawberries."
"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it
down? she asks.
Irritated, he says "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it!
Ice cream w/strawberries & whipped cream. I got it, for goodness sake!"
Then he toddles into the kitchen.
After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen & hands his
wife a plate of bacon & eggs.
She stares at the plate for a moment & then says "Where's my toast?"
#2) An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house &, after eating;
the wives left the table & went into the kitchen.
The 2 gentlemen were talking, & one said "Last night we went out to a new restaurant & it was
really great. I would recommend it very highly."
The other man said "What is the name of the restaurant?"
The 1st man thought & thought, & finally said "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know ... the one that's red & has thorns."
"Do you mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's the one," replied the man.
He then turned towards the kitchen & yells "Rose, what's the name of that
restaurant we went to last night?"
#3) A very elderly gentleman (mid 90s), very well dressed, hair well
groomed, great looking suit, flower in his lapel smelling slightly of a good
after shave, presenting a well looked-after image, walks into an upscale
cocktail lounge.
Seated at the bar is an elderly looking lady, in her mid-80s.
The gentleman walks over, sits alongside of her, orders a drink, takes a
sip turns to her & says
"So, tell me, do I come here often?"
