Robin’s 2 cents
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 great. I would recommend it very highly.”
The other man said, “What’s 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 had 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?”
