[nilesfunnies] Fwd: Fw: There's a no doubt apocryphal story about a notoriously absent-min

There's a no doubt apocryphal story about a notoriously absent-minded
Oxford don who moved to a new address in North Oxford. On the day of
the move his well-organised wife - knowing he would only get in the
way - insisted that he go off to work as usual.

By the evening he had inevitably forgotten he had moved. He remembered
when he got to his old, deserted house, but had no idea of his new
address.

Luckily there was a small girl playing outside "Excuse me" he said,
"do you happen to know where the man who used to live here has moved
to?"

"42 Burleigh Road" said the girl.

"Thank you very much."

"That's all right, Dad."
