An elderly man and his wife

An elderly man and his wife are losing their memory

An elderly man and his wife are losing their memory. Fearful that they may be developing early signs of dementia, Alzheimers, or the like, they speed off to their doctor.
The doctor gives them a thorough examination and says, “Honestly, you are both in great shape and should take pride in your physical fitness.
Go home, relax a little, and if you’re still having trouble with your memories, just try to write things down so you can’t forget.”

Gleefully returning home with fears of permanent memory loss behind them, the couple decides to celebrate with a movie. In the middle of the movie, the older gentleman makes a move for the kitchen.

“Where are you going?” asks the wife

“Just going to grab some vanilla ice cream,” replies the husband

“Oh, grab me some too, then!” The man nodes his head in affirmation and begins his walk towards the kitchen.

“Shouldn’t you write it down like the doctor recommended?”

“It’s just some vanilla ice cream, I can remember.”

“In that case, throw some whipped cream and a cherry on top, why don’t ya?” The wife added Again the man nodded in affirmation and began walking towards the kitchen.

“Well shouldn’t you write it down?”

“It’s just some vanilla ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top, I’ve got it,” the man replies growing weary of this conversation.

He is in the kitchen banging around for roughly 15 minutes and returns with two plates of steaming hot bacon and eggs. The wife looks at him utterly befuddled and says,

“Well hey, you forgot my toast!”
