Having Mom Over For Dinner

You don't even have to be a mother to enjoy this one.

Brian Hester invited his mother over for dinner. During
the course of the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but
keep noticing how beautiful Brian's roommate, Stephanie,
was. Mrs. Hester had long been suspicious of a relationship
between Brian and Stephanie, and this had only made her more
curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the
two react, Mrs. Hester started to wonder if there was more
between Brian and Stephanie than met the eye.

Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, "I know what
you must be thinking, but I assure you Stephanie and I are
just roommates."

About a week later, Stephanie 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 a e-mail just to be sure."

So he sat down and wrote:

Dear Mother:
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 a letter from his
mother that read:

Dear Son:
I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Stephanie, and I'm not
saying that you "do not" sleep with Stephanie. But the fact
remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have
found the gravy ladle by now.
Love, Mom
