An elderly widower was invited to an old friends home for dinner one evening. During dinner he was quite impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms such as: "Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, Honeypie", etc.
The couple had been married almost 60 years and, clearly it appeared, they were still very much in love.
While the wife was in the kitchen, the widower leaned over to his host and stated, "I think it's truly 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 the truth," he said, " I forgot her name last year and I'm scared to death to ask her what it is".
