Don't lie to your Mother...
A young man called Paul invited his mother for dinner. During the course of
the meal his mother couldn't help but notice how handsome Paul's flatmate
Simon was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two,
and this only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while
she watched the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more
between Paul and his flatmate than met the eye.
Reading his mums thoughts, Paul volunteered, "I know what you must be
thinking but I assure you, Simon and I are just flatmates".
About a week later, Simon came to Paul saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner I've been unable to find the frying pan, you don't suppose she
took it do you?"
"Well I doubt it, but I'll email her just to be sure" said Paul. He sat down and wrote:
DEAR MOTHER,
I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU "DID" TAKE THE FRYING PAN FROM MY HOUSE, I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU "DID NOT" TAKE THE FRYING PAN, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IT HAS BEEN MISSING EVER SINCE YOU WERE HERE FOR DINNER,
LOVE PAUL X
Several days later Paul received an email from his mother which read:
DEAR SON,
I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU "DO" SLEEP WITH SIMON, AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU "DO NOT" SLEEP WITH SIMON, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IF HE HAS BEEN SLEEPING IN HIS OWN BED, HE WOULD HAVE FOUND THE FRYING PAN BY NOW.
LOVE MUM X
The moral of the story, NEVER LIE TO YOUR MOTHER (she knows)
