Theme - "Forgotten" ... a humorous tale!

Did you forget something? Or someone? Write a humorous short story [or poem] with the humorous theme of �Forgotten.� Last month's challenge winner, jstro, for example, once forgot to take a final exam in college ... true story!

Your entries, however, do not need to be true stories ... just humorous. They don't even have to be a real world tale. Fantasy and science fiction would work just as well as a final exam.
