Rose, What Was the Name of the Restaurant?

Two older gentlemen are chatting after dinner while their wives are in the kitchen.

“We had a lovely meal at that new restaurant in town the other night,” said one to the other.

“That’s nice,” said his friend. “What was the name of the restaurant?”

“Oh, what’s the name of the lovely scented flower that grows on a thorny plant?”

“Rose?” replied the friend.

“That’s it.” Then, turning toward the kitchen, the gentleman called out, “Rose, what was the name of the restaurant the other night?”
