New Restaurant
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 says: "Last night we went out to a new restaurant,
and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly."
The other man says: "What's the name of the restaurant?"
The first man knits his brow in obvious concentration, and finally says
to his companion: "Aahh, what is the name of that red flower you
give to someone you love?"
His friend 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 says: "Do you mean a rose?"
"Yes! 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?"
