An older couple decided that their memory was so bad

that they would have to start writing things down in

order to remember them. One evening, the husband

got up from watching TV and said he was going to the

kitchen; he asked his wife if she wanted anything.

Wife: 'Yes, I would like some ice cream.' As he set off,

the wife said, 'Write it down.'

Husband: 'I can remember ice cream.

Wife:'But I also want strawberries on my ice cream.

Write it down'

Husband: 'I can remember ice cream with strawberries.'

Wife:'But I also want whipped cream on the strawberries.'

The husband took off without writing it down. He was gone for a while and when he came

back, he was carrying bacon and eggs.

Wife: 'Now see what you've done? You forgot the toast!?'
