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 watching the two interact, she
started to wonder if there was more between Paul and his flatmate than
met the eye.
Reading his mum's thoughts, Paul volunteered, "I know what you must be
thinking, Mum, but I assure you, Simon & 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.
So 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
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 WAS SLEEPING IN HIS OWN BED, HE WOULD HAVE FOUND THE FRYING PAN
BY NOW.
LOVE MUM
Lesson of the day, NEVER LIE TO YOUR MOTHER.
