Two old women

Two old women had been friends since their twenties. Now in their eighties, they still got together every week to play cards.
One day they were playing cards and one of them said, "You know, we’ve been friends for many years and, please don't get mad, but for the life of me, I can't remember your name. Please tell me what it is."
