What is the yellow-shirted man’s name again? I think it is Issachar.

One elderly couple is visiting another for supper. The two women go into the kitchen for a moment, leaving the men to talk..One of the men says to the other, “The Mrs. and I went to the nicest restaurant last night.”.“Is that right?” the other inquires, “What was it called?”.“That’s just it,” he replies "I can’t recall. “Say, what’s the name of that red flower that has thorns all over it?”.“A rose?” he responds..“YEAH, THAT’S IT!” he says energetically..He then whirls around and yells into the kitchen, “Hey, Rose! What was the name of that restaurant we went to last night!?”

You really have it bad when you can’t remember your own first name.

Clyde cares. That’s who.

It’s called Sometimers disease.

I think Earl has it figured out.

I sometimes get people’s names wrong as well. It’s kind of embarrassing.

I think I remember faces better than I remember names.

I’m also dreadful at names. I once tried the old “I can never remember your first name” ploy – and her first name was the same a mine. (Which is not Danielle!)
