The doctor told them that they were both physically fine and advised them to write things down to help them remember. Later that evening while watching television, the husband got up from his chair to go to the kitchen for a snack.<\/p>\n<p>He asked his wife if she wanted anything. \u201cCould you bring me a bowl of ice cream?\u201d she asked. \u201cSure,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you think you should write that down to remember it?\u201d she asked. \u201cNo, I can remember that,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019d like some strawberries on it, too.<\/p>\n<p>Do you need to write that down?\u201d she said. \u201cNo, I can remember that, too. Ice cream with strawberries,\u201d he said, becoming a little irritated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like some whipped cream on it, too. Can you remember all that? The doctor said you should write things down,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor goodness sakes, I can remember that. I don\u2019t need to write it down. A bowl of ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream,\u201d he said, now more than a little irritated.<\/p>\n<p>Off he went to the kitchen. About 20 minutes later he returned with a plate of bacon and eggs. The wife stared at it for a moment and said, \u201cWhere\u2019s my toast?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two old ladies go visit their friend Mary.<\/p>\n<p>They sit down and after a while Mary says: \u201cHow foolish of me! I haven\u2019t even offered you coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So she gets up and gets the coffee. Some time later, old Mary says: \u201cHow foolish of me!<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t even offered you coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So again she gets the coffee. Half an hour later, the scene repeats for the third time. Finally the two ladies say goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMary is acting really weird, don\u2019t you think?\u201d says the first one. \u201cAll the time we spent there, she hasn\u2019t even offered us coffee!\u201d. The second one looks at her in amazement: \u201cWhat?<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve been to see Mary, and you haven\u2019t even invited me??\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With all the new technology regarding fertility recently, a 65-year-old woman was able to give birth. When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, her relatives came to visit. \u201cMay we see the new baby?\u201d one asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot yet,\u201d said the mother. \u201cI\u2019ll make coffee and we can visit for a while first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thirty minutes had passed, and another relative asked, \u201cMay we see the new baby now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, not yet,\u201d said the mother. After another few minutes had elapsed, they asked again, \u201cMay we see the baby now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, not yet,\u201d replied the mother.<\/p>\n<p>Growing very impatient, they asked, \u201cWell, when can we see the baby?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWHEN HE CRIES!\u201d she told them. \u201cWhy do we have to wait until he CRIES?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBECAUSE I FORGOT WHERE I PUT HIM.
