Absentmindedness

My wife had left for her school an hour ago. I came out of the house. The door with automatic lock closed behind me. I went to my vehicle to go to my school. The key of the vehicle could not be found in any of my coat pockets. Then I realised that I had left the keybunch on the table. I forgot to take it along with me. Perhaps as I am growing old, I have become absentminded quite often nowadays. The other day I went to draw some money from ATM. I inserted the card and I could not carry out my transaction as I had forgotten the four digit pin number.

I returned from the school in the evening and waited for my wife to return, so that I could enter into my house as she had the master key Sitting in my jeep I started recollectting my college days.

We had an absentminded Professor. 0ne day he drove his car to a book shop. He parked his car on the parking lot and went into the book store. He purchased some books and hired a taxi to return home..He realised his mistake, only when his wife asked him whether he had given the car for repair.The Professor's story was told and retold by the students year after year.
Everyone added one of his imaginative incidents to make it interesting. I too did. My story,"0ne day the Professor went to the college and shocked to see all the classrooms locked.Then he realised that it was Sunday. Instead of going to the Chapel on the campus, he came to the classroom blocks."

My friend added another bit to it." Once the Professor went to see his wife off at the railwaystation. As he was forgetful, he gave his wife the plateform entry ticket and came out with the journey ticket".
In those days we used to enjoy such jokes at the cost of my Professor. We laughed at him. To-day when it happens to me, to be honest, I don't hesitate to laugh at my ownself.
