There are some hilarious and funny stories about aging and the memory. Here’s a really funny example that I came across just recently about two elderly men talking on the phone about the problems with aging. Here it is…
Jim said to Fred; “You know Fred this aging caper has nothing to recommend it”.
“You’re right” said Fred “there are so many things that you can do when you’re young that you can’t do when your old. My biggest problem is my memory, I’ve forgotten so many things lately that I cant remember half of them”.
Jim replied “I know exactly what you mean Fred but I was lucky I found a great memory course and it really helped me, it taught me how to use different methods to remember things by associating names with other names and ideas with other ideas to jog my memory and now I can almost remember anything”
Fred said, “That sounds fantastic Jim, what was the name of the course?”
Jim paused for a moment trying to remember, glanced over at his wife quizzically and then turned back to Fred on the phone and said, “Fred, you know that flower I have in my front garden? It has beautiful red petals on it and a stem with very sharp thorns. What’s it called?”
“Ah yes” says Fred “that’s the rose”.
Relieved, Jim turned back to his wife and said “Rose what was the name of that memory course that I did??!!”
Brilliant stuff! I could just picture the whole thing in my mind, which just made me laugh out even louder.
