TALES FROM THE CRAIC Memory isn't what is was Two eighty-year-olds were watching TV. "Bert," said Mary. "Would you do me a favour? Would you go into the kitchen and get me some ice cream out of the freezer?" "I will", said Bert. "Well, shall I write it down for you?" asked Mary. "Because your memory's not what it was." "Don't be stupid, woman. I can remember a simple thing like a plate of ice cream," snorted Bert. "Yes, but I was thinking of having a little chocolate sauce poured on it, so I'd better write it down." "I'm not stupid you know", bawled Bert.''I can remember ice cream with chocolate sauce." "Yes, but do you know those hundreds and thousands decorations. I was thinking of a sprinkling of them on top. I'd better draw a picture," said Mary. "You'll do no such thing," said Bert. "I can remember ice cream, chocolate sauce and hundreds and thousands. Just hang on a minute." Hang on Mary did, one minute, ten, twenty, forty. Eventually Bert returned carrying a tray. On the tray was a plate. On the plate was egg, bacon and sausage. "See, I told you I should have written everything down," said Mary. "Why's that?" asked Bert. "You've forgotten the toast," she snapped.
