A man, checking out of his hotel, asked the clerk, “What’s with that old Indian in the lobby? He’s been there ever since I arrived.”
“Oh, that’s Chief Forgetmenot. This hotel was built on Indian lands and part of the agreement is to allow him free use of the premises for the rest of his life.”
“But what’s with that name, Forgetmenot?”
“He’s called that because of his phenomenal memory. Even at age 92, he can remember every detail of his life.” The man decided to test the chief’s memory.
“Excuse me, Chief. Can you remember what you had for breakfast on your 21st birthday?”
“Eggs,” replied the chief, without a moment’s hesitation. The man was impressed. 10 Years later, he happened into the same hotel and was surprised to see Chief Forgetmenot sitting in the same chair in the lobby. As he headed for the elevator, he passed the Chief and gave a friendly, “How!”
The Chief replied, “Scrambled.”
