            **Our Yearly Dementia Test**

            It's that time of year for us to take our annual senior
            citizen test.
            Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the
            muscles. As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally
            alert. If you don't use it, you lose it!
            Below is a very private way to gauge how your memory
            compares to the last test. Some may think it is too easy but
            the ones with memory problems may have difficulty.**
            **Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing
            it or not.
            The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until
            you've made your answer.
            OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.*****

            *1. What do you put in a toaster?*****

            *








            **
            Answer: 'bread.' If you said 'toast' give up now and do
            something else..
            Try not to hurt yourself.
            If you said, bread, go to Question 2. ***

            **

            Answer: Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt
            the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and may even
            overheat. Content yourself with reading more appropriate
            literature such as Auto World.
            However, if you said 'water', proceed to question 3.**
