Our old friend Boris, the over the hill actor was once again able to wrangle a bit part in a stage play. The stage manager told him that the part was small but that it was important. Boris was to enter the stage which was filled with a garden and a number of women. Boris was then to hold a rose up to nose and comment “Ah, the scent of a woman.” Well the time came and Boris went on stage and uttered his line. At that, the audience broke out into uncontrolled laughter. Startled, Boris stumbled off stage and seeing the stage manager asked “What’s wrong? I didn’t forget my lines did I?” The stage manager slowly shook his head and said “No Boris, you forgot the rose.”
Reminds me of a joke my grandfather told me when I was a kid at the perfect time, as far as me “getting it” and it not being inappropriate for my age.
Boris was walking down the sidewalk and bumped into his friend Benny. Benny greeted him excitedly “hey buddy! Where have you been?! I haven’t seen you around town in a week!” With a grin, Boris held out his had and said “smell that finger.” Leaning in a bit and taking a whiff, “Ahhh” said Benny “Is she back in town?!”
