John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother
couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper
was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there
was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye.
Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must
be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is
purely professional."
About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "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?"
John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure."
So he sat down and wrote:
"Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house,
and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains
that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner."
Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said,
"Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper,
and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. By
the way, your gravy ladle is right on her bed.
Love, Mom"
