Just to prove no-one gets anything past their mums!!!!


John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother
couldn't help noticing how beautiful John's room-mate was. She had long
been suspicious of a relationship between John and his room-mate and
this only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while
watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more
between John and the room-mate than met the eye. Reading his mom's
thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I
assure you, Julie and I are just room-mates." About a week later, Julie
came to John and said, "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?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a
letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: Dear Mother, I'm not
saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying
you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been
missing ever since you were here for dinner. Love John Several days
later, John received a letter from his mother which read: Dear Son, I'm
not saying that you 'do' sleep with Julie, and I'm not saying that you
'do not' sleep with Julie. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping
in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love Mom
