A Trifecta of Canadian Humour
I’m sure I’ll be getting many more of these from my good friend Snoot (and you know who you are) over in the Great White North. But for now this is the third in a series of posts of some jokes forwarded to one of my many online email addresses. They were bestowed upon my consciousness by one of my friends in the wilds of Soviet Canuckistan. Enjoy!
I’ve figured it out Through months of self-analysis I’ve finally figured it out… this is why I don’t seem to get everything done in a day that I figure I should. I’m suffering from “A.A.A.D.D.”. I think I caught it from my Sig-O*, or did my Sig-O* catch it from me? The real question here is: See if this is you: Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder
Recently, I was diagnosed with 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 to the garage, I notice that there is mail on the hall table. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trashcan under the table, and notice that the trashcan is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the trash first, but then I think that since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my chequebook off the table and see that there is only one cheque left. My extra cheques are in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking. I'm going to look for my cheques, 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 decide 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 I go to watch TV, I 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, get some towels and wipe 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 cheque in my chequebook, 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 really 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 for 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... |
* - Sig-O = Significant Other. The joke has been slightly altered to make it more generic.
