My wife is forgetful, and I retell her jokes all the time. I read her this post and made a joke about it at her expense. She got grumpy about it, but I won’t have to worry about that for too long.
Reminds of that retirement home orderly who abused dementia patients. And he thought it was the perfect crime too.
That is, until he took an ethics class and chose to write his final paper on whether there’s any real difference between abusing someone with no memory and abusing a simulated character in a video game.
He still does it but now he’s racked by the guilt. Philosophy: Not even once!

Thanks for the tip, I’ll make sure to avoid any philosophy education.
