Your browser does not support theaudio element. As we all know, elephants never forget. Yes, an elephant’s memory is a thing remarkable. Like a steel trap from which nothing can escape. It is for this reason that one should be very careful when borrowing money from an elephant. It doesn’t matter how many years go by, he’ll never forget so you might as well cough up right away cuz, let me tell you that is not a visit you ever want to get, especially when you have some people over and…
I digress.
The point is that elephants have great memories…except for Peter. Peter, for whatever reason, had the worst memory of any elephant in history. He couldn’t remember anything. He couldn’t remember where he left his things, what he had said to his friends, or whether it was Bill Paxton or Jeff Daniels in that one movie.
But worst of all is he forgot when he made plans with people. Anyone who knew Peter well had, on more than one occasion, known him to show up very late with some pathetic apology or excuse. Most elephants were annoyed by Peter’s chronic lateness (that’s if he remembered to show up at all), but they had come to accept it about him.
But not Susie.
Susie was Peter’s girlfriend and she was getting good and fed up with him standing her up all the time. He didn’t mean to, of course, he simply forgot things, but just the same it was beginning to make Susie feel like she didn’t matter to him at all when nothing could be further from the truth. Finally, after he had missed three dinner dates in a row, she gave it to him straight.
“Tomorrow night is our anniversary. If you aren’t right on time for dinner…we’re through!”
Poor Peter didn’t want to forget this time, so before he went to bed he tied a big red ribbon around his trunk so that when he woke up the next morning he would see it in the mirror and it would remind him of his date.
But Peter’s memory was so bad that when he woke up the next morning and looked at himself in the mirror he saw the ribbon and knew that it was there to remind him of something…but, true to form, he couldn’t remember what! Now Peter was panicking because he knew whatever it was he had forgotten this time must be something very important, if he had tied that ribbon on to remind him. So he spent the rest of his day going around to all the places he usually hung out and calling on all the friends he had ever made plans with and asked them if they knew what he was supposed to remember about today. But they all shook their heads and said they had no idea.
Well, the day passed quickly and Peter was beginning to panic. Then he had an idea. “Susie!” he said. “She’s the smartest elephant I ever met. She’s bound to know what I was supposed to remember today.” So he ran straight to see Susie and before he could ask her what he had forgotten, she turned to him and her face lit up.
“You remembered!” Susie cried and she gave Peter the biggest kiss of his elephant life.
So Peter and Susie had a lovely anniversary dinner…though Peter never did remember what that whole ribbon thing was about.

No more pouring! Real and funny stories about girls and alcohol
We all happened to go through strong drinks, and most often this did not end in disaster. Well, the maximum - a night text message to the former, for which he was then ashamed for three whole days, oh horror! This is if you remember superficially.
What if we dig a little deeper? Then it turns out that something like this has happened to each of us at least once. Very, very funny.

Alcohol intoxication
I once had a fight with my best friend on the eve of her birthday. The next day I wrote to her, but she did not answer. I came home from work, washed up, put on a dressing gown, poured myself some whiskey and... And after a while I felt so sorry for myself - I can't tell! In general, I decided to break away on my own, got up, put on sneakers and went to the club. Right in a bathrobe. What is most interesting, they even let me in there. The problem is that at some point I sobered up and found myself on the dance floor like this.
The rest of the evening, in general, had to be spent in the toilet cubicle. Well, I took the phone with me and still got through to my friend. Reconciled. She even took someone's jacket with her to cover me.
Maria, 25 years old
Got drunk with friends at the club, walked home barefoot, because it was no longer possible to walk in shoes. I came and I understand that my husband is already sleeping, but in the morning he will definitely understand everything - just by the powerful smell of fumes and dirty heels. So, in order not to get caught, you need to drink adsorbent at night, open the window and be sure to wash your feet. I ate coal, opened the window and washed my feet very thoroughly. I forgot to take off my stockings.
Evgenia, 33 years old
It was when I was a student. Gathered at a friend's in a large company. He had his own two-story house and a very kind mother, who said that she had made a bed for me downstairs, in a room near the stairs.
At some point, I staggered towards the stairs, intending to go down and go to bed. But, firstly, I lost my balance and flew down, and at the foot of the stairs, the kindest shepherd Jackie was sleeping. I fell right on the dog, but she managed to endure it silently. And secondly, then I opened the door to the room, saw a sofa with a pillow and a blanket straight ahead and collapsed on it, having time to think that it was somehow uncomfortable. And for some reason there is no bed linen. I woke up from Jackie licking my face, and my friend’s mother was standing in the room and whispering: “Detonka, you slept on a dog sofa, this is her sofa, and I made a bed for you right here ...” And points to a magnificent bed right opposite. The linen, shining with whiteness, and the corner of the blanket was even folded back. Like in the "Good night, kids!" screensaver.
Anastasia, 27 years old
I met with a friend, stayed up late, and I had to go home out of town.
I decided to stay with my parents. I ring the doorbell and understand that I need to try hard to pretend to be sober, otherwise mom and dad will be upset. I go in, which means I take off my jacket, shoes, and I understand that the whole family is somehow looking too closely at this process. At the same time, I hear some strange background sound, very nasty. I try to make an even more sober face, and then my mother finally breaks down and says: “Maybe you’ll get off the cat’s tail already ?!” The whole scene did not last long, of course, but it was remembered forever.
Elena, 24 years old
I received my first salary and immediately bought myself contact lenses: I dreamed about them all my life. A couple of days later I got drunk visiting friends, realized that I would not get home and stayed for the night. I took off my lenses before going to bed and put them in a glass of water. And in the morning, of course, I drank water.
Along with lenses.
