I saw it once while visiting my grandmother in the hospital (she was being treated for a bladder infection). Anyway, the room next to hers had an old lady violently fighting the nurse and yelling profanity. It was tragicomic in a way.

You reminded me of the only other time I have seen Alzeheimers and it was funny and sad. It was the elderly wife of my mothers cousin. It was at a family party and this cousin circled through the group with a slice of cake on a saucer. She asked if you wanted cake and if you said no thanks, she smiled and was back again in 5 minutes asking if you wanted cake. This went on for several hours. She was like a 5 year old girl serving cake at a pretend tea party. It was very sweet and very sad, she was 70 years old.
