Just for fun…
A man is talking over the fence with his very forgetful neighbour. He mentions that it’s his wedding anniversary soon and he’s trying to find somewhere nice to take his wife.
Mr Forgetful says, “Oh, we went somewhere really nice for our anniversary… but I can’t remember the name of the place”. The neighbour, well used to the forgetfulness, says it doesn’t matter, but Mr Forgetful is determined to remember and tries to jog his memory. He says, “What are those places called… the religious buildings?”
Neighbour: “A church?”
”No, not a church… religious people live in them…”
Neighbour says, “You mean nuns? A convent”.
Mr Forgetful gets excited and says, “Yes, yes, like that! But the man’s version; what do they call that?”
“A monastery?”
“Like that, but shorter… what’s a shorter word for it?”
Neighbour guesses, “An abbey?”
Mr Forgetful snaps his fingers and says, “THAT’S it, thank you, I knew I’d get it in the end!” So he turns and shouts to his wife, “Abi! What was the name of that restaurant we ate in on our anniversary?”
