[ConroeCajun]

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: Darling, Honey, My Love, Pumpkin,
Sweetheart, 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,
and said: "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. "I have to tell you the truth," he said.
"Her name slipped my mind about 10 years a go, -- and I'm scared to
death to ask the old botch what it is."
