Mum knows best........

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, '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 Mum,


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.
