Bad memory

One elderly couple is visiting another for supper. The two women go into the kitchen for a moment, leaving the men to talk.

One of the men says to the other, The Mrs. and I went to the nicest restaurant last night.

Is that right? the other inquires, What was it called?

Thats just it, he replies I cant recall. Say, whats the name of that red flower that has thorns all over it?

A rose? he responds.

YEAH, THATS IT! he says energetically.

He then whirls around and yells into the kitchen, Hey, Rose! What was the name of that restaurant we went to last night!?
