quick joke:
There was once a great stage actor who could no longer remember his lines on cue. Bit too much of the amber liquid perhaps, too many brain cells sluiced away, who knows?
Anyway...
After many years on the skids he finds a theatre where they are prepared to give him one last shining chance to redeem himself.
The director, an old pal, says, "This is the most important part, even though it has only one line. As the curtains open you walk on to the stage left carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, just so, sniff the rose deeply, and then say the line:
"Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress."
The actor is thrilled. What a break, and so simple! All day long before the play he's practicing and repeating his line over and over again. Word perfect!
Finally, the big moment arrives. The curtain goes up, the actor walks onto the stage, and with great passion and clarity delivers the line:
"Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress."
The theatre erupts, the audience writhes screaming with laughter. The poor actor is taken aback and the director is hysterical!
"You bloody fool!" he cries, "You have ruined me!"
The actor is bewildered:
"What happened, did I forget my line?"
"No!" shrieks the director, "You forgot the rose!"
