Three Older Forgetful People

"Three Older Forgetful People"*

*Three older people were discussing some of
the memory problems associated with aging.

One woman said, "I open the refrigerator door
but can't remember what I'm looking for."

The other woman replied, "I go upstairs to my
room but can't recall whether I was supposed
to bring something upstairs or take something back down."

"Well, fortunately nothing like that is happening
to me, knock on wood," said the man of the
group, rapping on the table as he said it.

His face suddenly went blank as his head cocked
to one side. After a moment, he looked up and
said, "Excuse me, I have to get the door."

"Washing Dishes"*

*A man went to visit his 90 year old grandfather
and while eating the breakfast of eggs and bacon
prepared for him, he noticed a film-like substance
on his plate. So he says, "Grandfather, are these plates clean?"

His grandfather replies, "Those plates are as clean
as cold water can get them, so go on and finish your meal."

That afternoon, while eating the hamburgers his
grandfather made for lunch, he noticed many little
black specks around the edge of his plate, so again
he asked, "Grandfather are you sure these plates are clean?"

Without looking up from his burger, the grandfather
says, "I told you those dishes are as clean as
cold water can get them, now don't ask me about it anymore."

Well, later that day, they were on their way out to
get dinner. As he was leaving the house,
grandfather's dog who was lying on the floor
started to growl and would not let him pass.

"Grandfather, your dog won't let me out."

Without diverting his attention from the football
game he was watching, his grandfather shouted,
"Coldwater, get your butt out of the way!"
