Does this happen to you?

I'll think of a really funny idea, and I'll say "Shit, I should write that down." But then I don't have a pen or paper or whatever and I'll say "Okay, I'll repeat the idea to myself several times so I don't forget." And then I repeat it to myself several times.

Then I forget it.

I sound like bad stand-up at this point, I know it.

The thing is, I have notebooks EVERYWHERE. There's one in my car. There's like a thousand in my room. And I have a Word file here at work entitled "Ideas" that is 25 pages long. And still this shit happens.
