Three Old Men Talked About Memory… Big Mistake
Three old men were sitting together in a small café on a quiet afternoon.
The conversation slowly drifted to aging… and memory.
The first man sighed.
“Lately, my memory’s been terrible. Sometimes I stand in the kitchen and can’t remember why I went in there.”
The second man nodded.
“That’s nothing. I walk into a room and just stand there… no idea what I came in for.”
They both chuckled, a little embarrassed.
The third man, who had been listening quietly, tapped the table.
“Thank God,” he said confidently,
“I don’t have those kinds of problems.”
The other two looked at him, impressed.
He leaned back in his chair, clearly pleased with himself.
Then he paused.
Frowned slightly.
Looked to his left… then to his right.
A few seconds of silence.
And finally, he asked:
“…Who are you two?” 😄
A man walks past a beggar every day and gives him $2, and that continues for a year.
Then, suddenly, the daily donation changes to $1.50.
“Well,” he thinks, “it’s always better than nothing.”
A year passes in this way until the man’s daily donation suddenly becomes $1.00.
“What’s going on now?” The beggar asks his donor.
“First you give me $2 every day, then $1.50, and now only $1, what’s the problem?”
“Well,” the man says, “my eldest son went to college last year. It’s very expensive so I had to cut the costs. This year, my eldest daughter also went to university, so I had to cut my expenses even further.”
“And how many children do you have?” Asks the beggar.
“Four,” the man replies.
“Well,” says the beggar, “I hope you don’t plan to educate them all at my expense.”
