FORGETFUL PROFESSOR
The university professor and his wife were leaving church. The professor confronted his wife: “Ah-ha! So who is absent-minded now? You forgot your umbrella and left it in church, but I remembered mine and I picked up yours, too.” His wife set him straight: “That’s fine, dear, but the trouble is, neither you nor I brought an umbrella to church today!” The next morning the wife reminded her professor husband: “Don’t forget we are moving today. If you come to this house this afternoon it will be empty.” Predictably the professor did not remember until he found the house vacated that afternoon. He mumbled to himself, “And where was it we were moving to?” He went out in front of the house and asked a little girl, “Did you see a moving van here today?” “Yes,” she replied. “Would you know which way it went?” She looked up at him and said, “Yes, Daddy, I’ll show you.”
