There was an elderly couple who in their old age noticed that they were getting a lot more forgetful, so they decided to go to the doctor. The doctor told them that they should start writing things down, so they won't forget.
They went home and the woman asked her husband to get her a bowl of ice cream. "You might want to write it down," she said. The husband smiled and replied, "No, I can remember that you want a bowl of ice cream."
She then told her husband she wanted a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream. "Write it down," she told him, and again he said, "No, no, I can remember. You want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream."
Then she added that she’d like the bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top. "Write it down," she told her husband and again he said, "No, I got it. You want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top."
So, he left to get the ice cream, but spent an unusually long time in the kitchen, over 30 minutes. He returned and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs. His wife stared at the plate for a moment, then looked at her husband and asked, "But where's the toast?"
