My Name?


               Two elderly ladies  had been friends for  many decades. Over
          the years they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures.
          Lately, their activities had been  limited to meeting a few times
          a week to play cards.

               One day they were playing cards when one looked at the other
          and said, "Now don't get mad at me. I know we've been friends for
          a long time but I just can't think of your name. I've thought and
          thought,  but I can't remember it.  Please tell me your name?"

               Her friend  glared at  her. For at  least three  minutes she
          just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you
          need to know?"
