An elderly gentlemen was telling his friend about a new restaurant he and his wife recently visited.

"The food and service were great!" he said.

His friend asked, "What was the name of the place?"

"Oh... I do not remember" he said. "What do you call the long stem flower people give on special occasions?"

"You mean a rose?" asked his friend.

"That's it!" he exclaimed and turning to his wife, asked, "Hey Rose, what was the name of that restaurant we went to the other day?"
