John invited his mother over for dinner.During the course of the
meal,his mother couldn't help but notice how handsome John's roommate
was.She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two,and
this had only made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening,while watching the two,she started to
wonder if there was more between John and his roommate than met the
eye.
Reading his mom's thoughts,John volunteered,"I know what you must be
thinking,but I assure you,Justin and I are just roommates."
About a week later,Justin came to John saying:" Ever since your mother
came to dinner,I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy
ladle.You don't suppose she took it,do you?"
"Well,I doubt it,but I'll email her,just to be sure."
So he sat down and wrote:
Dear Mom,
I'm not saying that you 'did' take the gravy ladle from my house,I'm
not saying that you 'did not' take the gravy ladle.But the fact
remains that it has been missing since you were here for dinner.
Love,John
Several days later,John received an email from his mother which read:
Dear son,
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Justin,and I'm not saying that
you 'do not' sleep with Justin.
But the fact remains that if he was sleeping in his own bed,he would
have found the gravy ladle by now.
Love,Mom
Lesson of the day: ... Don't lie to your mother!
