That's not funny OR weird. What's next, making fun of the handicapped?
People with Alzheimers disease forget things, yes, that's the most important symptom of the disease isn't it? Some patients get aggressive too, because they realise they forget everything and I think you can imagine how frustrated and helpless that makes them feel. So THAT'S why they both forgot about the incident, and possibly also why one of them struck the other - symptoms of one of the worst illnesses there are. It's not funny or strange at all that this happened - I find it deeply sad.
I think I can guess in advance that Stormymystic didn't know what the illness was in the first place, but Arvon, surely you did? It's like saying "an incontinent peed his pants - weird huh??"
