G'day ... er ... whoever ...It seems that there was a bold code I forgot to cancel ... way up in the second line!
I also forgot to say that I was posting this because it reminds me of some great on-stage stories by Roy Bailey ... very much along the lines of this story!

Do you also have AAADD too?
They have finally found a diagnosis for my condition. Hooray!!
I have recently been diagnosed with AAADD - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it goes:
I decide to wash the car; I start toward the garage and notice the mail on the table.
Ok, I'm going to wash the car. But first I'm going to go through the mail.
I lay the car keys down on the desk, discard the junk mail and I notice the bin is full.
OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk and take the rubbish out ...
But since I'm going to be near the mailbox anyway, I'll pay these few bills first.
Now, where is my cheque book? Oops, there's only one cheque left.
My extra cheques are in my desk.
Oh, there's the tea I was drinking. I'm going to look for those cheques.
But first I need to put my tea further away from the computer ... or maybe a drink of cold water would be nice.
I head towards the kitchen and my flowers catch my eye, they need some water.
I put my tea on the counter and uh oh!
There are my glasses. I was looking for them all morning!
I'd better put them away first.
I fill a container with water and head for the flower pots-Aaaaaagh! Someone left the TV remote in the kitchen.
We'll never think to look in the kitchen tonight when we want to watch television so I'd better put it back in the family room where it belongs.
I splash some water into the pots and onto the floor,
I throw the remote onto a soft cushion on the sofa and
I head back down the hall trying to figure out what it was I was going to do?
End of Day:
The car isn't washed,
the bills are unpaid,
the tea is sitting on the kitchen counter,
the flowers are half watered,
the cheque book still only has one cheque in it and
I can't seem to find my car keys!
When I try to figure out how come nothing got done today, I'm baffled because I know I was busy all day long!!!
I realise this is a serious condition and I'll get help, but first I think I'll check my e-mail.
Please send this to everyone you know because I don't remember to whom I've sent this!!!
Except don't send it back to me! Oh, go ahead and send it back to me ... I won't remember anyway ... !
From a fellow sufferer.
