Making the Case for Post-It Notes

We came across a sweet joke today and thought you might enjoy it as well:

An 80-year old couple were having problems remembering things, so they decided to go to their doctor to make sure nothing was wrong. When they arrived at the doctors, they explained about the problems they were having with their memory.

After an exam, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but suggested they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.

Later that night while watching TV, the man got up from his chair and headed toward the kitchen.

“Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?” the wife asked.

“Sure,” he replied.

She then asked him, “Don’t you think you should write it down so you can remember it?”

“No, I’ll remember.”

“Well I would also like some strawberries on top,” the wife added. “You had better write that down because I know you’ll forget.”

“I can remember.” The man insisted. “You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.”

“Well I also would like whipped cream on top. I know you will forget that so you better write it down.”

A bit irritated at this point, he replied, “I don’t need to write it down! I can remember.” And off he went into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, he returned and handed his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.

She stared at the plate for a moment and said angrily: “I TOLD you to write it down! You forgot my toast!”
