Failing Memory

[Clanad]

Two elderly gentlemen are sitting in the kitchen one afternoon, when one comments on how his arthritis has been a problem of late. "What medication do you use?", he asks the other. At this, the fellow thinks for a bit, then replies, "Oh, my memory is just terrible. Let's see. What's the name of that flower that grows on a long, thorny stem, and has lots of red petals and smells so nice?" His companion ventures. ,"A rose?" "That's it!", he says as he turns toward his wife and says, "Hey, Rose, what's the name of the arthritis medicine I've been using?"
