John took Jill out to dinner for their second date. Later they went to a show.

The evening was a huge success and as he dropped her at her door he said "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 agreed and a date was made.

The next night he knocked on her door and when she opened it she slapped him hard across the face.

He was stunned. "What was that for?" he asked.

She said "I looked up rambling rose in the encyclopaedia last night and it said 'Not well suited to bedding but is excellent for rooting up against a garden wall.'"
