Fred's rose

After their wives had gone to the kitchen following dinner, Fred and Sam, their elder husbands, were talking. Fred said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great! I think you and Margaret would really enjoy it.'

Sam asked, 'Oh? Which restaurant?'
There was a long pause while the Fred, experiencing a senior moment, thought and thought. Finally Fred asked Sam, 'What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know.... The one that's red and has thorns?'

''Do you mean a rose?', Sam asked.
'Yes, that's the one,' Fred replied. Fred then turned toward the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'

Life is sort of like that you know? Everything is somehow connected to everything else.
