There was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines.  One day
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 the line, 'Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress.'"

The actor is thrilled.  All day long, before the play, he's practicing his
line over and over again.

Finally, the time came.  The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the
stage, and with great passion 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!"
