Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the
meal, Brian’s mother couldn’t help but notice how beautiful Brian’s
roommate, Jennifer, was. Brian’s Mom had long been suspicious of a
relationship between Brian and Jennifer, and this had 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 Brian and Jennifer than
met the eye.
Reading his mom’s thoughts, Brian volunteered, “I know what you must
be thinking, but I assure you Jennifer and I are just roommates.”
About a week later, Jennifer came to Brian 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?”
Brian said, “Well, I doubt it, but I’ll send her an e-mail just to be
sure. So he sat down and wrote:
Dear Mom,
I’m not saying that you “did” take the gravy ladle from the house, I’m
not saying that you “did not” take the gravy ladle. But the fact
remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Brian
Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that read:
Dear Son,
I’m not saying that you “do” sleep with Jennifer, I’m not saying that
you “do not” sleep with Jennifer. But the fact remains that if
Jennifer is sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy
ladle by now.
Love, Mom
