A man was invited to a friend's home for dinner, where
he noticed that his buddy preceded every request to his wife
with endearing terms, calling her Honey, Darling, Sweetheart,
Pumpkin, etc.

He was impressed, since the couple had been married
almost 70 years.

While the wife was in the kitchen, he said, "I think it's wonderful
 that after all the years, you still call your wife those pet names."

His buddy hung his head.

"To tell you the truth, I forgot her name about 10 years ago."
