PINKPAW and company

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but noticing how beautiful John's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between John and his roommate.  Over the course of the evening, while watching the two of them, she became convinced there was more between John and his roommate than met the eye.

Reading his mother'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 saying, "Ever since your Mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle you bought me.  You don't suppose that your mother took it do you?".

John said, "Well I doubt it, but I'll send her a letter just to be sure."

So he sat down and wrote:

Dear Mother:

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 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 were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now...

Love,

Mom
