Two old timers, Jerry Atrick and Al Seimer are sitting on Al’s front porch reminiscing about the past when suddenly Jerry says…
JERRY: “l feel like an ice cream!”
AL: “Ooh! That sounds like a good idea.”
JERRY: “How about I take a walk to the store and get a couple of ice creams?
What do you want? Plain vanilla or with chocolate and nuts?”
AL: “Chocolate and nuts.”
JERRY: “Okay then you wait here and I’ll be back in ten minutes.”
AL: “Okey dokey.”
Jerry gets up to leave.
AL: “Shouldn’t you write it down before you go because otherwise you’ll forget it?”
JERRY: “Don’t be ridiculous. There ain’t nothing’ wrong with my memory.”
AL: “But I still think you should write it down.”
JERRY: “My memory is perfect. Don’t worry about it.”
Jerry heads off to the store repeating the words as he walks.
JERRY: “Chocolate and nuts. Chocolate and nuts. Nuts and chocolate. Chocolate and nuts…”
Tens minutes later Jerry returns holding a brown paper bag.
He hands the bag to Al.
JERRY: “Here you go. Exactly what you ordered.”
Al opens the bag and removes a chicken and corn pie.
AL: “Jerry you idiot I told you to write it down!”
JERRY: “What’s the problem?”
AL: “You forgot the damn ketchup!”
JERRY: “l feel like an ice cream!”
AL: “Ooh! That sounds like a good idea.”
JERRY: “How about I take a walk to the store and get a couple of ice creams?
