A man was working in his backyard one day when his neighbor began talking to him over the fence. He said, “Yeah, my wife and I went to one of those seminars yesterday, you know, where they teach you ways to improve your memory and such.”

His neighbor commented, “Really? What was the name of the speaker?”

The man answered, “Ah, ah, what's the name of that flower that smells so good and has thorns?”

“You mean a rose?”

“Yeah, that’s it.” He called over his shoulder, “Rose, what was the name of that speaker we heard yesterday?”
