Cousin: — I found a book with advice for improving your memory. Rat: — That’s a book I’d want to see, where is it? Cousin: — I didn’t read it at once, and now I can’t remember where I put it.
I read once a book about improving memory. Among other things, the author recommended using "smart drugs." The most important smart drug is nicotine. Experiments on rats prove nicotine has some limited benefits in short-term memory in rats, but the greatest benefits are aesthetic: smoking a churchwarden pipe makes rats look adorable and wiser according to a survey among rat researchers. Most respondents to the survey were single females, and everyone else forgot to check their email inbox and respond to the survey.

If you lose your memory, forget it.
