Write It Down!

There was an elderly couple who had been married for ages and ages. He was starting to have problems with his memory, so Mrs. Elderly Couple figured out that if Mr. Elderly Couple wrote things down in his little notebook, there was much less strife in the household.

One evening as they were in bed reading, she said, "I feel a little hungry; I'd love to have a snack!" He said, "Well, what do you want? I'll go in the kitchen and prepare it!" She said, "Well, some ice cream would be nice! Write it down. Also, some chocolate syrup on the ice cream would be wonderful! Write it down." "Anything else?" he asked. "Well, perhaps some whipped cream and toasted almonds! Have you been writing this down?" "I don't need to write this down; I can remember it," he said. She said, "You'd better write it down because you know what happens when you don't." He said, "Ice cream with chocolate syrup, whipped cream and toasted almonds. What's so dang hard about that?" "I still think you should write it down," she said. He wandered off to the kitchen, mumbling, and she returned to her book.

About twenty minutes later he returned carrying a tray with pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, butter and maple syrup. "I told you to write it down," she said. "I wanted fried eggs, not scrambled!"

Padre Not-Doug

Padre Mickey sent this joke to me. Does he think I'm old, or something? The Music Director at his church told the joke Sunday during the announcements. The congregation at Padre's church celebrates a festival or has a party with delicious food nearly every Sunday. They tell jokes during the announcements. They have a band playing at their services. I want a church like Padre Mickey's.
