Off Topic - Just for the laugh

We've talked a lot about memory - here's one that showed up in my email today.  I'm too tired to rewrite it as an MS joke, but it could be us.

I think I've heard it before - have you? Lulu

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, 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's not to forget it?'
He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with 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 with strawberries and 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 and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment then says................
'Where's my toast ?'

Two mature ladies were sitting across from each other at a restaurant.  One looked at the other for a minute, then spoke.

"I hope you'll forgive me for asking a stupid question.  I know we've been friends for a long time, and I should remember this, but I'm sorry, I just don't.  What is your name?"

The second senior stared at her longtime friend with a look that could melt steel.  She kept staring for several minutes.  Then she spoke.

"How soon do you need to know?"

GG& RH - thanks for starting my day with a laugh.

here's a true one about hearing, which the two of us in my house experience all the time - we went to dinner, I looked at DH across the table and commented that this new restaurant had an extensive menu.  He looked back at me and said "nonsense, I don't think its expensive at all."

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?'
Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''

The doctor said, 'I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'

oh, you two, those were great.... ok no men can take offense.  Feel free to give it back...
Men are like computers: Hard to figure out and never have enough memory.

Memory and cognitive are a problem for some of us:::Three elderly men are at the doctor's office for a memory test. The doctor asks the first man, "What is three times three?" "274," is his reply. The doctor rolls his eyes and looks up at the ceiling, and says to the second man, "It's your turn. What is three times three?" "Tuesday," replies the second man. The doctor shakes his head sadly, then asks the third man, "Okay, your turn. What's three times three?" "Nine," says the third man. "That's great!" says the doctor. "How did you get that?" "Simple," he says, "just subtract 274 from Tuesday."

You heard about the new medicine called Ginkoviagra?
It's to help one remember what the f*** they're doing!

Cheers!

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.'
The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?'
The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love?
You know... The one that's red and has thorns.'
'Do you mean a rose?'
'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man.
He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'

your turn,
Lulu
