Mary was invited to his friend's home for dinner. Robert, the host, preceded
every request to his wife by endearing terms, calling her Honey, My Love,
Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc. Mary looked at Morris and remarked,
"That is really nice, that after all these years that you have been
married, you keep calling your wife those pet names." Robert hung his
head and whispered," To tell the truth, I have forgotton her
name."
