An elderly couple
had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating,
the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The
two elderly
gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went
out to a new restaurant, and it was really great. I would
recommend it very highly."
The other man said, "What's the name of the restaurant?"
The first man knits his brow in obvious concentration, and
finally said to
his companion, "Aahh, What is the name of that red flower
you give to
someone you love? His friends replies, "A Carnation??"
"No. No. The other one" the man says. His friend offers
another suggestion, "The Poppy?"
Nahhhh, growls the man. You know the one that is red and
has thorns."
His friend said, "Do you mean a rose?" "Yes, Yes that's
it. Thank you!" the first man says. He then turns toward
the kitchen and yells, "Rose, what's the name of that
restaurant we went to last night?
