A man takes a lady out to dinner for the first time. Later they
go on to a show.
The evening is a huge success and as he drops her at her door he
says, "I have had a lovely time. You looked so beautiful, you
remind me of a beautiful rambling rose. May I call on you
tomorrow?" She agrees and a date is made.
The next night he knocks on her door and when she opens it, she
slaps him hard across the face. He is stunned. "What was that for?"
he asked.
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.'"
