People Forget When They Get Old
There was an old couple.
… they noticed that they were getting more and more forgetful and decided to go to the doctor.
The doctor told them to start writing things down so they wouldn’t forget.
They went home and the old woman told her husband to bring her a bowl of ice cream. “She said, “You might want to write this down.
He said, “No, I remember that you wanted a bowl of ice cream.
So the wife told her husband that she wanted a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream. “Write that down,” she said to him.
“No, no, I remember: you want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream,” he said again.
Then the old woman said she wanted a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top. She said to her husband, “Write that down.
Again he said, “No, I understand. You want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top.”
He went to get the ice cream and spent an unusually long time in the kitchen, over 30 minutes. He comes to his wife and hands her a plate of bacon and eggs.
The old woman looks at the plate for a while, then looks at her husband and asks,
“Where’s the toast?”
They Say Men Don’t Listen To Women
A man asked his wife what she wanted for her 40th birthday.
“I’d like to be six again,” she replied.
On the morning of her birthday, he woke her up early and they went to a local amusement park.
What a day! He took her on every ride in the park: Death Slide, Scream Loop, Wall of Horror, everything! Wow!
Five hours later, dizzy and sick to his stomach, he staggered out of the amusement park.
They went straight to McDonald’s and her husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake.
Then they went to the movies – it was the latest Disney movie and what an amazing adventure!
Finally, she returned home with her husband and collapsed on the bed.
Her husband leaned over and asked her affectionately: “So, honey, what was it like to be six years old again?”
The woman looked up wearily and said;
“You fool, I meant my dress size.”
The moral of the story is this:
If a woman speaks and a man is really listening, he will still misunderstand.
