Bad memory is the secret

     "Change of scene is the thing. I heard of a man. Girl refused him. Man went abroad. Two months later girl wired him, 'Come back, Muriel.' Man started to write out a reply, suddenly found that he couldn't remember girl's surname, so never answered at all, and lived happily ever after."

(from Carry On, Jeeves, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
