The late Dwight Morrow (US diplomat, politician and businessman), who was very absent-minded, was once reading earnestly on a train when the conductor asked for his ticket. Frantically Mr Morrow searched for it.

Never mind Mr Morrow, the conductor said. When you find it mail it to the company I am certain you have it.

I know I have it, exploded Mr Morrow. But what I wanted to is, wherein the world am I going!

German Author forgot his home!

In his old age, Lessing, the German author became very absent minded. Coming home one night with his mind on some work he intended to finish, he found the locked, and discovered that he had not taken his key with him. In answer to his knock, a servant looked out of an upstairs window, and mistaking his master for a stranger, called out

The professor isn’t at Home

Very well, Lessing answered meekly as he turned Away

Tell him that I will call him another time.

Forgot his Lunch

J David Stern, former publisher of the New York post was sometimes accused of absentmindedness. Once, as he hastened down the street, he was accosted by a friend, who said, “Come, have lunch with me.
“All right”, said Stern, “f we go to some place nearby. I am already late.”

They entered a restaurant close at hand, and as he ordered, Stern wondered what could be the matter with him for he said, “I am not a bit hungry”

“I beg pardon, sir” the waiter said, “but you just finished lunch five minutes ago”.

Another story about Dwight Morrow’s notorious absentmindedness. Getting off the train in New York, he hastened into the telegraph office and wired to his secretary: “Why am I in New York? What am I supposed to do?”

He received a prompt answer: that he was on his way to Princeton to deliver a lecture.
