An elderly gent was invited to an old friend's home for dinner one
evening.
He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his
wife with endearing terms such as: Honey, My Love, Darling,
Sweetheart, Darling, etc…
The couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were
still very much in love.
While the wife was in the kitchen, the man leaned over to his host,
‘I think it's wonderful that after all these years, you still call
your wife those loving pet names’.
The old man hung his head, sighed and said ‘I have to tell you the
truth, her name slipped my mind about 10 years ago and I'm scared to
death to ask the old bitch what it is...’
