{OT} a.a.a.d.d. -->joke<--

Recently I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -- Age Activated Attention
Deficit Disorder. This is how this insidious disease manifests itself:

I decided to wash my car. As I start toward 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, 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
checkbook off the table, and see that there is only one check left. My
extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk where I
find the can of pop that I had been drinking. I'm going to look for my
checks, but first I need to push the pop aside so that I don't
accidentally knock it over.

I see that the pop 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
pop, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye -- they need to be
watered. I set the pop down on the counter, and I discover my reading
glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I 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 we go to watch TV, we 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 pop sitting on the counter, the
flowers aren't watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook,
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.
