By Any Other Name
Two elderly couples were enjoying friendly conversation when one of
the men asked the other, "Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to
last month?"
"Outstanding," Fred replied. "They taught us all the latest
psychological techniques; visualization, association... it made a huge
difference for me."
"That's great! What was the name of the clinic?"
Fred went blank He thought and thought, but couldn't remember.
Then a smile broke across his face and he asked, "What do you call
that flower with the long stem and thorns?"
"You mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's it!" He turned to his wife. . ."Rose, what was the name
of that clinic?"
