Sweet Aroma
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...There was once a great actor who had a problem. He could no longer remember his lines. Finally, 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 must walk on the stage carrying a rose. Hold the rose with just one finger and your thumb to your nose. Sniff the rose deeply and then say the line ‘Ahhh, 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 comes. The curtain goes up, and the actor walks onto the stage. With great passion, he delivers his line: “Ahhh, the sweet aroma of my mistress.”
The theatre erupts, the audience is screaming with laughter, and the director is steaming!!! “YOU BLOODY FOOL!” he cries. “YOU HAVE RUINED ME!”
The actor is bewildered. “What happened? Did I not say my line right?” he asked.
“NO!” the director screams, “YOU FORGOT THE BLOODY ROSE!!!”
