"They taught us all the advanced techniques—X-ray, hearing aid, radiation, etc. It was great! ""That's great. And what was the name of the clinic?" the latter asked. Fred went blank. He thought and thought, but couldn't remember. Then a smile broke across his face and he asked, "What do you call that flower with the long stem and thorns?"

　　"You mean a rose?"
