I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can't remember their names. So, please forward this to your friends; they may be my friends too.

Intelligent people are more forgetful than those with average intelligence.

This being true, I have something important to tell you. And I’ll think of it in a minute. It’ll come to me. I knew it a minute ago.

LOL...this is a nice "light" thread, in the midst of so much nasty stuff.

I'd like to add one thing though; dumb old people were dumb when they were younger, so age shouldn't be blamed for that "dumbness"!

People are supposed to gain knowledge, throughout their lives; however, sadly, not everyone does.

I’ve always made this analogy. Why else would I be able to remember a zillion lyrics to a million songs I learned without effort in my youth, early 20s, and 30s and start to struggle to remember new lyrics as I advanced in age? I can sing a song word for word that I haven’t heard in 50+ years, but learning one new song is a week-long effort (and I do mean effort) at my advanced age. Too bad we can’t add space to our memory as computers can.

I sometimes cannot remember a person's name, but will know the first letter. At 63 I have so much useless info in my brain that I have to sort it alphabetically...

Much like a computer struggles as the hard drive gets full, so, too, do humans take longer to access information when their brains are full.

A large glass of Burgundy helps me to defrag. Takes about an hour. Then when I wake up, my mind is clear as a bell.

Well, almost.

The old man is talking to his friend. "Yes, I took a memory course. It was a amazing. I'm remembering things I'd forgotten years ago."

"Really? What was the name of the course?"

"Ummm.... you know that flower? The red one, with the thorny stem?"

"A rose?"

"Yes! A rose!.... HEY ROSE! WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THAT COURSE I TOOK?"

My brain is an 8088 CPU running DOS 6.2. My memory is a 10MB hard drive that has not been defragged in 70 years. My short-term memory is a 180k 5-1/4” floppy.

I can’t find stuff in my memory because all my file names are 8 characters, max.

“Now what does this file named “gzbzks1A.doc” contain?”
