You Can't Fool Mom
John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother
couldn't help noticing how beautiful John's roommate Julie was.
She had been suspicious of a relationship between John and his
roommate, and this only made her more curious. Over the course of
the evening, while watching the two interact, she was certain there
was more between John and the roommate 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 roommates.
About a week later, Julie came to John and said; "ever since your
mother came to dinner, I can't find the 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."
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."
