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, etc. It was great."
- "That's great! And 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 memory clinic?"
