An older couple went to the doctor with concerns about their memory. The doctor suggested that they carry a pad and write things down.

So they are home watching TV and the husband says he is going in the kitchen and does his wife want anything.

She replies,"Just a bowl of ice cream."

He says no problem but she asks if she is going to write that down and re replies he can remember that.

So she says in that case could you put some nuts on it. And he says no problem. And she asks if he is going to write that down but he sys he can remember that.

She replies that could he add some chocolate syrup. And again he says no problem but again he refuses to write it down insisting he can remember that.

He's gone for about 15 minutes and comes back with a plate of scrambled eggs and some toast.

The wife looks at the plate for a few seconds and says"Where's the bacon?"
