An elderly couple are sitting at home watching television and enjoying a cup of tea. After a while, the man gets up to take his empty cup to the kitchen.

"Would you get me a bowl of ice cream while you're up?" the woman asks.

"Yes, okay. Ice cream," he nods.

"With strawberries. Should I write it down for you?"

"No, no, I can remember. Ice cream with strawberries."

"And cream. Ice cream with strawberries and cream. Should I write it down? You won't forget?"

"I won't forget. Ice cream with strawberries and cream. It's fine. You don't need to write it down," he assures his wife.

The man goes to the kitchen and is there for some time. Eventually, he comes out carrying a plate of bacon and eggs. The woman looks at the plate and frowns.

"Where's the toast?"
