Three elderly men, Eddie, Jenkin and Martin go to the doctor's for their memory test. (It's a miracle they remembered the appointment!)

Anyway, the doctor begins by asking Eddie

"What is five times five?"
"191," is his reply.

The doctor rolls his eyes and looks up at the ceiling, and says to Jenkin,

"It's your turn. What is five times five?"
"Wednesday," replies Jenkin

The doctor shakes his head sadly, then asks the third man,

"Okay Martin it's your turn. What's five times five?"
"Twenty five," says Martin.
"That's great!" says the doctor. "How did you get your answer?"
"Easy," says Martin, "just subtract 191 from Wednesday"
 
Obviously they hadn't been stuffing themselves with carbs as commanded by DUK:
Why is carbohydrate important?

All carbohydrate is converted into glucose and will have an impact on blood glucose levels. Since this is the case, some people with diabetes wonder if it would be better not to have any carbohydrate in their diet to keep their glucose levels under control. This is not recommended, as:

* glucose from carbohydrate is essential to the body, especially the brain
