An elderly couple .....

[joseyclosey]

An elderly couple were having 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 towards the kitchen and yells,

"Rose, what's the name of that restaurant

we went to last night?"
