Welcome to the human race.
This one gentleman was telling his doctor that his memory was so bad that when he'd walk into another room to get something he couldn't remember what he had gone in there for. His doctor suggested that he keep a pen and paper with him at all times so he could write it down. He agreed that was a great idea and he started doing that. One night as he and his wife were watching television he decided he wanted a dish of ice cream so he asked his wife if she would care for a dish also. She said yes and he immediately got up whereupon she said, "aren't you going to write that down". He replied, "I'm not going to forget something that simple". He was in the kitchen for quite some time before returning to the living room and handing his wife a plate of fried eggs, sausage and toast. Her reaction was, "your memory is totally shot because I definitely told you I wanted bacon".

There were 3 older gentlemen sharing a townhouse. One was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper when one of his housemates called for help shouting, "I am on the stairs and I forgot whether I was going up or down"??!! The first gentleman was annoyed at the interruption of his reading and retorted, "you big dummy- I told you all that smoking and drinking was gonna fry your brain- now you see- you are beginning to suffer dementia"!! A few minutes later the other housemate suddenly yelled from the bathroom- I'm in here and I don't remember why I came in -to defecate, urinate or take a bath"??!! HELP!!!. The first gent, still annoyed, exclaimed "I told both of you that all that junk food, booze, drugs, all-nighters and smokes were gonna burn out your brains"! He pontificates, "now look at me- I'm a vegetarian, I abstain from alcohol and smoking, I get exactly 8-hours of sleep every night, I go to the gym every day, I take care of myself and I am in perfect health and have a mind like a steel trap" while pounding loudly with his fist on the coffee table! "KNOCK ON WOOD"! (audio: KNOCK KNOCK) "WHO'S THERE"??!!
Don't worry, it happens to everyone- even young folks!

Good one. You're right, it does happen to young ones. I did something so stupid one time that when I told my sister she laughed hysterically but neither one of us can remember what it was.

As the mother of five daughters I never allowed my girls to use the word โfartโ as itโs very unladylike. We had a replacement when necessary so, Jerry, you have just suffered a โbrain fluff.โ Nothing to worry about Iโd say.

You gotta laugh. I have done things I would rather I havenโt and found laughing worked best

What a nice way to begin the morning. Thanks to all for your comments you've lightened my worries. The best laughter is laugh at one's self.

Memory is the second thing to go. I forget the first thing.
You gave me a laugh! I've done worse - but can't remember what!

I'm not as bad as the guy who told his doctor that his memory was going. When the doctor asked him when he first noticed the problem. The guy replied, "what problem".

Years ago when I was sharing an apartment with two others one of my roommates always wore a hat. One day he came home from work and put his hat in the refrigerator. Maybe that's the reason he could always keep a cool head.
I joke about losing it and will always do so. I do what I can to keep fit--brain and body but it will deteriorate--that's all I can do except enjoy the human life cycle. Of course I've been doing bone-headed things since I was young so I have a lot of practice.
