YOUR Yearly Dementia Test-- only 4 questions
It's that time of year for us to take our annual
senior citizen test. Exercise of the brain is as
important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow
older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If
you don't use it, you lose it! Below is a very
private way to gauge how your memory compares to
the last test. Some may think it is too easy but
the ones with memory problems may have difficulty.
Take the test presented here to determine if
you're losing it or not. The spaces below are so
you don't see the answers until you've made your
answer. OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.
1. What do you put in a toaster?
Answer: 'bread.' If you said 'toast' give up now
and do something else…
Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go
to Question 2.
2. Say 'silk' five times. Now spell 'silk.' What
do cows drink?
Answer: Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,'
don't attempt the next question. Your brain is
over-stressed and may even overheat. Content
yourself with reading more appropriate literature
such as Auto World. However, if you said 'water',
proceed to question 3.
3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a
blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink
house is made from pink bricks and a black house
is made from black bricks, what is a green house
made from ?
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you
said 'green bricks,' why are you still reading
these??? If you said 'glass,' go on to Question 4.
4. Without using a calculator - You are driving a
bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales . In
London , 17 people get on the bus. In Reading , 6
people get off the bus and 9 people get on. In
Swindon , 2 people get off and 4 get on. In
Cardiff , 11 people get off and 16 people get on.
In Swansea , 3 people get off and 5people get on.
In Carmathen, 6 people get off and 3 get on.You
then arrive at Milford Haven...
Without scrolling back to review, how old is the
bus driver?
Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you
remember your own age... It was YOU driving the
bus!
If you pass this along to your friends, pray they
do better than you.
PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!

Since you've been carrying the flag, let's see what I can do to help:
A little old lady was running up and down the halls in a nursing home.
As she walked, she would flip up the hem of her nightgown and say
"Supersex.."
She walked up to an elderly man in a wheelchair.
Flipping her gown at him, she said, "Supersex."
He sat silently for a moment or two and finally answered, "I'll take the
soup."
