An elderly couple was watching television one evening. The wife said, I am going to get a dish of ice cream now. Kindly, the husband offered to get the ice cream for his wife. I'll write it down so you don't forget, she said. I won't forget, the old gent said. But, I want chocolate syrup and nuts on it. So, I'll write it down, she replied. I will get you the ice cream. Don't you worry, replied the gentleman. A few minutes later, the old man returned with bacon and eggs. His wife said, See, I should have written it down because you forgot the toast.
