bad memory

[conker]

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 wh ile 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.
>>"Where's my toast ?"
