Paddy practised his line and the director's instructions all day long, over and over again, until finally, the time came. The curtain went up, Paddy walked on to the stage and said his line, "Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress." The theatre erupted with laughter, and the surprised Irishman gave an impromptu bow as he walked off the stage.
The director was livid. "You bloody fool!" he screamed. "You have ruined me!"
"What happened?" said Paddy, bewildered. "Did I forget my line?"
"No!" shouted the director. “You forgot the rose!"
