Joke of the Day – A.A.A.D.D. – Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests itself:
I decide to wash my car. As I start toward the garage, I notice
mail on the hall table. I decided to go through the mail before I washed the car.
I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash can under the table, and noticed that the trash can was full.
So, I decided to put the bills back on the table and take out the
trash first, but then I thought that since I was going to be near the mailbox when I took out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my checkbook off the table and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are on my desk in the study, and I go to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking. I’m going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don’t accidentally knock it over.
I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye – they need to be watered.
I set the Coke down on the counter and I discover my reading
glasses that I’ve been searching for all morning.
I decided I’d better put them back on my desk, but first I’m going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water, and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.
I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, we will be looking for the remote, but nobody will remember that it’s on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I’ll water the flowers.
I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back down on the table, got some towels, and wiped up the spill.
Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day; the car isn’t washed, the bills aren’t paid,
there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers aren’t watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook,
I can’t find the remote, I can’t find my glasses, and I don’t remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I’m baffled because I know I was busy all day long and I’m really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I’ll try to get some help with it, but first I’ll check my e-mail.
Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to close friends you know, because I don’t remember to whom it has been sent.
Don’t laugh – if this isn’t you yet, your day is coming! And if I have sent this to you before…well, now you know why you’re getting it again.
