TRYING TO REMEMBER
Two very elderly ladies were enjoying the sunshine on a park bench
in Miami.
They
had been meeting at that park every sunny day, for over 12 years,
chatting and enjoying each others' friendship.
One
day, the younger of the two ladies, turns to the other and says,
"Please don't be angry with me dear,
but I am embarrassed. After
all these years, what is your name? I am trying to remember,
but I just can't."
The
older friend stares at her, looking very distressed, says nothing
for two full minutes, and finally with tearful eyes, says,
"How
soon do you have to know?"
SEMANTIC
CUEING:
An
elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating,
the wives retired to the kitchen. The two elderly gentlemen got
to talking, and the first one said, "Last
night we went out to a new restaurant, and it was really great.
I would recommend it very highly."
The
second man asked, "What was the name
of the restaurant?"
The
first man sat and scratched his head and thought a long time. Finally,
he replied, "What is the name of that
flower you give to someone you love? You know . . . the one that
is red and has thorns."
"Do
you mean a rose?"
asked the second man.
"Yes,
that's it, " replied the first man said. He then turned
toward the kitchen and yelled, "Hey,
Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"
