An elderly couple was having trouble remembering things, so they went to the doctor.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The doctor said, \u201cYou should start writing things down to help you remember.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later that night, the wife said, \u201cHoney, I\u2019d like some ice cream. Could you get me some from the kitchen?\u201d<\/p>\n

The husband said, \u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n

The wife added, \u201cWrite it down so you don\u2019t forget!\u201d<\/p>\n

The husband replied, \u201cI don\u2019t need to write it down! You want ice cream.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cI also want strawberries on top. Write it down!\u201d<\/p>\n

The husband rolled his eyes. \u201cI won\u2019t forget!\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cAnd whipped cream! Please write it down!\u201d<\/p>\n

He sighed. \u201cI got it! Ice cream, strawberries, whipped cream. No need to write it down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twenty minutes later, he came back and handed her a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon.<\/p>\n

The wife stared at the plate and yelled, \u201cI told you to write it down! Where\u2019s my toast?!\u201d<\/p>\n

LOL!!<\/p>\n

Hope this joke will make you smile! Have a nice day!!<\/p>\n

A travel agent was sitting at his desk when he noticed an elderly couple standing outside, gazing longingly at the posters of dream vacations in the shop window.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

They looked sweet, and honestly, a little heartbroken. The agent had just had a great week in business, so he felt a wave of kindness wash over him.<\/p>\n

He rushed outside, brought them in, and said, \u201cListen, I know travel isn\u2019t easy on a pension, but I want to treat you both to a luxury vacation\u2014my treat. No strings attached. Just say yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shocked but thrilled, the couple accepted. The agent had his assistant book two plane tickets and a room at a beautiful five-star resort.<\/p>\n

About a month later, the little old lady returned to the shop, smiling.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow was the trip?\u201d the agent asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, it was just lovely! The flight was wonderful, and the hotel was like something out of a dream,\u201d she said. \u201cI came to say thank you\u2026 But I do have one question.\u201d<\/p>\n

The agent raised an eyebrow. \u201cSure, what is it?\u201d<\/p>\n

She leaned in and whispered, \u201cWho was that old man I had to share the room with?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
