Two elderly couples go out for dinner together. As they're sitting at the table, one of the men says to the other man, "I'm starting to have trouble remembering names of people that I know. I suppose it's natural, but I hate it."

The other elderly gentleman says, "I know exactly how you feel. The same thing started happening to me a couple years ago. But I found that it really helps if I associate the person's name with a picture in my mind. For example, say I want to remember my doctor's name. I picture a flower. It's red. It has a long stem. Lots of thorns. OK! Right, it's a rose!"

He leans over to his wife.

"Rose, what's my doctor's name?"
