An old couple starts having memory problems, so they write things down. One night the husband gets up and asks his wife if she wants anything from the kitchen. “Yeah, some ice cream,” she says. “Write it down.” “I can remember ice cream.” “With strawberries on top! Write it down.” “Ice cream with strawberries.” “And whipped cream! Write it down or you’ll forget!” The husband grumbles and goes to the kitchen. Half an hour later he returns with bacon and eggs. The wife sighs: “See?! You forgot the toast!”
