Oh Noooo

I think a great conversation starter would be "So how did you lose your short-term memory?"

What was I going to write?

What was the question?

[reversedracula]

If the person you ask REALLY loses short term memory, they won't get the joke; they'll just talk about something else instead...

"What about my short-term memory?"
"How did you lose it?"
"Lose what?"
"Your short-term memory?"
"It's great, never better."
"What is?"
"What is what?"
"Obviously."
"What's obvious?"
"Things we clearly see, why do you ask?"
"Because you said 'obviously!'"
"Obviously said what?"
"About your short-term memory!"
"What about my short-term memory?"

That's horrible (and genius). You should send that to a TV show that does the random on the street interviews. See if they get a response like Tom's.

The only issue would be convincing them that you've discussed it in the past.
