One elderly couple visit another couple at home.
While the wife goes to make tea, the husband makes small talk.
"We had a smashing meal at the new restaurant in the precinct last week" he
says.
The other couple reply : " Really? What's it called?"
The husband searches his memory for some time, then asks :
"Oh, what's the name of the flower, usually red or white, with a long stem
and thorns, that you can present to a lady?"
"Rose", they reply.
"Of course!" he says.
Then he calls out to his wife :
"Rose, what's the name of the new restaurant in the precinct?"
