Two elderly couples are enjoying a friendly conversation when one of the men asks the other, "Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to last month?"
"Outstanding," Fred replies. "They taught us all the latest psychological techniques, visualization, association, it made a huge difference for me."
"That's great! What was the name of the clinic?"
Fred goes blank. He tries to think hard but just can't remember. Then a smile breaks across his face and he asks, "What do you call that flower with the long stem and thorns?"
"You mean... a rose?"
"Yes, that's it!" He turns to his wife, "Rose, what was the name of that clinic?"
When you "go blank" you don't remember something. You could also say "I have a lapse of memory". Or a "I have a blackout". Choose one and stick with it.
