Two elderly gentlemen are playing cards on Saturday evening just
as they have done for the past 50 years.
Gus, the elder, had been having problems remembering what cards
were what, and usually needed help from his wife.
At the end of the card game Red said to Gus, "You did very good
tonight. You didn't need any help at all. Why is that?"
Gus replied, "Why, ever since my wife sent me to that memory
school, I haven't had any problems at all."
"Memory school? What memory school?"
Gus thought for a moment, "Oh, what's that flower that's red
with thorns? A really pretty flower..."
"A rose?" asked Red.
"Yeah, that's it!" Gus turned to his wife and mumbled, "Hey,
Rose! What's the name of that memory school you sent me to?"

An elderly couple was watching television one evening.
The wife said, "I am going to get a dish of ice cream now."
Kindly, the husband offered to get the ice cream for his wife.
"I'll write it down so you don't forget," she said.
"I won't forget," the old gent said.
"But, I want chocolate syrup and nuts on it. So, I'll write it
down," she replied.
"I will get you the ice cream. Don't you worry," replied the gentleman.
A few minutes later, the old man returned with bacon and eggs.
His wife said, "See, I should have written it down because you
forgot the toast."
