You don't remember me do you?
We've met before. Several times actually. We've worked together for several years.

Go ahead — I'll give you a few minutes. Let me know when you realize you can't do it.
Amazing, isn't it. It's my super power — the power of immediate forgettability. I know what you're thinking — not much of a super power. That's what I used to think, too.
