Improve Your Memory In 14 Days: A Quiz

Haven't I seen this quiz before? Say in the past couple of weeks? Any memory test that doesn't include my grocery list is just playing games. Here's a quiz for you: 1) How much time, in your average week, do you spend staring into your refrigerator, slowly chilling your forearms, because you refuse to close the door until you remember what it is you were supposed to be getting? 2) How many rebate coupons that you are eligible for do you successfully redeem in any given year? (More than half or Less than half) 3) How many perfectly pleasant phone conversations do you have with family members each day without getting to the real point of your phone call? So you have to call back. 4) What percentage of your birthday and anniversary cards that you send out are, technically, "belated?" (whether the card uses that word or not) a) Less than half? b) More than half? c)Practically all? d) I've stopped sending cards because I can't remember to whom I'm related anymore. 5) How many important documents could you physically locate in five minutes? Circle all that apply: driver's license, birth certificate, car registration, social security card, marriage license, passport, title to car, mortgage papers, warranty card for anything costing more than $500 bucks. 6) What is the phone number for your childhood home? (first home that you had to learn a phone number for) 7) What is the oldest condiment in your refrigerator? How long ago did it expire? 8) Where were you and what were you doing when Andy Gibb died? (you may omit this question if you don't know who Andy Gibb is. If old substitute JFK. If young substitute JFK, Jr..) 9) Recite the Whopper Ingredients. 10) Say "Toy Boat" four times fast. 11) If you are still reading this quiz you probably can't remember why you started taking it.
