An Elderly Couple Decide To Go To The Doctor...

...because they're having more and more trouble remembering things. The doctor explains that there's really nothing he can do, as that's just a natural part of the aging process. He does recommend, however, that they might consider writing things down to help them remember.

One night, as they're watching TV, the husband gets up and heads to the kitchen to grab a beer.

"Honey," the wife says, "since you're up, would you mind getting me a bowl of ice cream?"

"Sure," replies the husband.

"And could you add some whipped cream on top?"

"Yup."

"Do you want to write it down so you don't forget?"

"No, I'm fine."

"And could you please put some chocolate syrup on top? And I really think you should write it down."

"No, I'm good. It's only three things: ice cream, whipped cream and syrup. I'll remember."

Twenty minutes later he returns with a plate of eggs and bacon.

"See...I told you to write it down...you forgot the toast!"
