O/T Joke: Lesson of the Day - don't lie to your mother

[Guest guest]

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother

couldn't help noticing how beautiful John's roommate was. She had long

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

started to wonder if 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'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. "

 

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. "
