AMNESIA

By

Michael Edwin Q.

Ten years ago, I was bowling with my brother-in-law, Junior

He’s had a few too many beers and wasn’t watching what he was doing.

He slipped and hit his head with his bowling ball.

He didn’t know who I was. He didn’t even know his own name.

I went to call for an ambulance; but when I got back, he was gone.

Ten years later, he comes walking in the house at dinner time.

His memory had returned.

After a tearful greeting, his wife goes to the phone and starts calling friends.

Junior says, “What are you doing?”

I’m calling everybody. I want them to come right over. We’ll have a big party for you.”

“Oh, no, you don’t.! Not on my bowling night!”
