CHECK FOR ALZHEIMER'S - PRETTY AMAZING

The following was developed as a mental age assessment by the School of Psychiatry at Harvard University ... Take your time and see if you can read each line aloud without a mistake.

The average person over 40 years of age cannot do it!

1. This is this cat.
2. This is is cat.
3. This is how cat.
4. This is to cat..
5. This is keep cat.
6. This is an cat.
7. This is old cat.
8..This is fart cat.
9. This is busy cat..
10. This is for cat.
11. This is forty cat.
12. This is seconds cat.



Now go back and read the third word in each line from the top down and I betcha' you cannot resist passing it on!


Don't blame me. Blame Ann.

  2. Tres amusant Grandmère. It sounds even better with my lack of teeth at the moment, gave me and Tracy a good laugh.

  3. Margaret, you're not out of the woods. I forgot to say that this is not a true test for old fartness. It's a joke.

    TheMe, can you make a recording for us?

  4. I got halfway through and then thought, "I'm not fooled by this." I knew summat was up. Do I get extra points for that? ... anyway, like the joke.

  5. I blew it on the first line, and called it a day.

  6. I was congratulating myself on how sharp I am, until I read down through the 3rd word of each line. Funny!
