An old couple is watching TV and the man stands up.
“I’m going to the kitchen. Do you want anything?” he asks his wife.
“Yes, please get me some chocolate ice cream with sprinkles.” she answers.
The man starts to leave, when his wife calls out.
“Honey, are you sure you don’t want to write that down. Your doctor said you may need to in order to remember.”
“No, no, I’m sure I’ll remember what you asked for.”
A few minutes later, he returns with fried eggs and toast.
His wife shakes her head
“Well, see, you did need to write that down,” she said. “You completely forgot my bacon!”
