An actor hasn't had a job in years because he can no longer remember his lines. However, after a terrific audition, he lands a small role in a Broadway musical.
When he arrives at the theater the director tells him, "You only have one line. You walk onto stage with a rose in your right hand; bring it close to your nose, and sniff it deeply. Then you will say, 'Oh, the smell of my lover.'"
So the play opens, and perfectly on cue the actor strides out on stage, brings his hand to his nose, and announces, "Oh, the smell of my lover."
With this the crowd begins to laugh hysterically and the director explodes with anger.
The actor runs off stage and asks, "What's wrong? Did I forget my lines?"
And the director says, "No! You forgot the rose!"
