An artist in an attempt to cover memory lapses would ask everyone : so how are you doing? how is your father? Is he in the same line of business?
One day he came across a beautiful woman and asked: how are you? how is your father? Is he in the same line of business?
The woman replied: i am fine, so is my father, yes he is still the king of England :)
A man was once confessed to not remembering the name of his wife of 30 years: Why else do you think I have been calling her darling for the past 20 years??
PS: My bhabhi (sister-in-law)'s name is Arpana that of her younger sister Anupama. Even after five years of marriage my brother introduces her as Anupama off and on ;). In his invitation lettter for my Visa he wrote '.......and my sister Arpana.....'
