Smile Awhile.
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 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 is the name of the restaurant?’
The first man thought and thought and finally said ‘What’s the name
of that flower you give to someone you love? You know the one that’s
red and has thorns.’
‘Do you mean a rose?’
‘Yes that’s the one’ replied the man. He then turned towards the
kitchen and yelled ‘Rose what’s the name of that restaurant we went
to last night?’
