    Truth

    An elderly gentleman was invited by an old friend to dinner. He was impressed by the way his buddy talked to his wife, calling her “honey, my Love, darling, sweetheart” all the time.

    The couple had been married for 60 years and clearly, they were still very much in love.

    While the wife was in the kitchen, the man asked his friend, “I think it’s wonderful that after all these years you still call your wife by 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 ago and I’m scared to death to ask what it is.”
