As I have been relatively successful in the long-term maintenance of my memory, I thought I should pass along my techniques to others, so that they can benefit from my experience. I have three secrets; if you follow them, you too will continue to remember such things as the running mate of the losing presidential candidate of sixty-seven years ago.

The first secret is: write it down. Get yourself a little book and write down in that book everything you want to remember. Don't worry about indexing the book or otherwise indicating where the information is; the mere act of writing it down will commit it to your memory and, once you put into practice the other two secrets, you won't need to look things up anyway.

The second secret is: talk about it. A little needless repetition of facts is key to remembrance. And what else is idle conversation for, anyhow? It saves your equally aged fellows from having to come up with conversation topics. They'll thank you for it. Trust me.

Now, the third is the most important. Without this little trick the first two will do you little good. So finally, it is of vital importance to, um...
Well. You know...
