Forgetful
Actor There was once a great actor who could no longer
remember his lines. After many years he finds a theatre where they are prepared
to give him a chance to shine again.
The director says, "This is
the most important part, and it has only one line. You walk on to the stage at
the opening carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger
and thumb, sniff the rose deeply and then say theline Ah, the sweet aroma of my
mistress."
The actor is thrilled. All day long before the play hes
practicing his line over and over again.
Finally, the time came. The curtain
went up, the actor walked onto the stage, and using just one finger he delivered
the line, "Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress."
The theatre
erupted, the audience was screaming with laughter and the director was steaming!
"You bloody fool!" he cried, "You have ruined me!"
The actor was bewildered, "What happened, did I forget my line?"
"No!" screamed the director. "You forgot the rose!"
