Two elderly couples were having a nice chat when one of the men turned to his friend and asked, “So, Harry, how was that memory clinic you went to last month?”
Harry replied, “It was fantastic! They taught us all sorts of memory tricks—visualization, association—all of it really helped!”
“That’s wonderful!” said his friend. “What was the clinic’s name?”
Harry paused, clearly stumped. He thought hard, but it just wouldn’t come to him. Then suddenly, his face lit up. “What do you call that flower with the stem and thorns?”
“A rose?” his friend replied.
“Yes, that’s it!” He turned to his wife and asked, “Rose, what was the name of that clinic again?”
