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
