As retold by Bruce Lowitt

Two couples, each married over 50 years, are talking.

"Last night," Mendel says, "the two of us went to a restaurant to die for. Such good food and plenty of it - we each brought home a doggie bag with enough for two more dinners at least - and it didn't cost much at all."

"Sounds great," Eugene says. "What's the name?"

"It's . it's . uhh . Wait a second. What's the name of that flower that's red and it has thorns?"

"Rose?"

"Right. Rose," Mendel says. Then he turns to his wife and says, "Rose, what's the name of that 
restaurant where we ate last night?"
