Beware of Rambling Rose

[planedriver]

Some months after my wife and I seperated, I took another lady out to dinner for the first time, and later, we went on to see a really good show.

 

The evening was a huge success and as I dropped her at her door I said, "Thank you so much, I have had a lovely time and really appreciated your company tonight.

 

You looked so stunning over dinner, and you remind me of a beautiful rambling rose. May I call on you tomorrow?"

 

She agreed and a date was made.

 

The next night I knocked on her door with a nice but small bunch of flowers for her, and when the door was opened, she slapped me hard across the face:black_eye:.

 

I can tell you I was stunned in more ways the one.

 

"What was that for I asked with tears in my eyes?"

 

She said, "I looked up rambling rose in the encyclopedia last night and it said,

 

'Not well suited to bedding, but is excellent for rooting up against a garden wall'."
