A man bumps into an old school friend at a party. "Golly," says the friend, "I haven't seen you in years. Where have you been hiding yourself?"
"I've been away with the wife," answers the man.
"Lovely," says the friend. "Where were you?" Anywhere nice?"
"Greece," comes the reply.
"Great. Whereabouts in Greece?"
"Oh, erm, P-P-Pr-Pris, no, that's not it," the man says, struggling to remember a word. "Er, T-Tr-Tra... christ N-Ni-Nic..." Still the word won't come. "Oh bollocks. What do you call that plant that grows up the side of your house? You know, that creeper thing?"
"Ivy?" suggests the friend.
"That's it!" says the man, relieved.
"Hey, Ivy! What's the name of the place we went to in Greece?"
"I've been away with the wife," answers the man.
"Lovely," says the friend. "Where were you?" Anywhere nice?"
"Greece," comes the reply.
