An elderly lady was invited to the home of an old friend for dinner one evening. She was impressed by the way her friend preceded every request to her husband with endearing terms such as: Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, etc. The couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were still very much in love.
While the husband was in the living room, the woman leaned over to her hostess to say, "I think it's wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your husband all those loving names."
The elderly friend hung her head, "I have to tell you the truth,' she said, 'his name slipped my mind about 10 years ago, and I'm scared to death to ask the stupid old butthole what his name is."
