Thanks for posting that. I knew the quote, but couldn't remember were I had heard it!

Actually, they've been using that phrase for years in the former British Empire. I had a roommate from New Zealand back in 1979 who used to say that once in a while. He was a PhD in civil engineering from Auckland University who was doing a post doctoral research fellowship on earthquake engineering at Caltech.

An old man is telling his buddy about this new "memory enhancement" class he's taking down at the local Junior College to help him stop forgetting everything.

He says, "Yeah, I'm taking this class over to the JC where I'm learning some memory techniques to help me recall things I've forgotten. It's already making my life a little easier."

His friend, who suffers from the same decline in short term memory, says "Wow, that's great. I should sign up for it. What was the teacher's name, and how does it work?"

The first guy says, "Watch this..... Ok, what do you call that plant with the beautiful red flowers and the thorns all over it?"

The second guy says, "A rose?"

The first guy says, "Yeah, that's right. A rose. Hey Rose! What's the name of that teacher I'm taking the memory class from?"
