This is more a statement than a question ! Why is it that I can remember every phone number I have ever had, every post code, all manner of trivial things from my childhood Yet I can't recall what on earth I was looking for in the fridge five seconds after going to get whatever it was :-( Sheesh! -- Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)

Three old maids lived together. One was going upstairs but got tired about half way up and sat down to rest. After a few minutes, she stood up and said, "Was I going upstairs or downstairs?" The second one was getting ready for a bath and "came to" with one foot in the tub and the other on the bathroom floor. She said, "Was I getting into the tub or getting out?" The third said, "I'm just glad I'm not as forgetful as you two. Knock on wood." (Whereupon she rapped her knuckles on a table.) "Hey, who could that be knocking at our door this time of the night?"
