The Aged Memory from James Green

An elderly couple, were experiencing declining memories, so they decided to take a power memory class, where they teach you to remember things by association. Later, the man was talking to a friend about how much the class helped him.

``Who was the instructor?'' asked the neighbor.

``Oh, let's see,'' pondered the man. Ümm...what's that flower, you know, that smells real nice, but it has those thorns..?''

``A rose?'' offered the neighbor.

``Right,'' said the man. He turned toward his house and shouted, '`Hey, Rose, what's the name of the guy we took that memory class from?''
