In the gravy

[idk01]

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't
help noticing how beautiful John's roommate Julie was. She had long been
suspicious of a relationship between John and his roommate, 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 John and the
roommate than meets the eye.

Reading his mum's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be
thinking, but I assure you, Julie and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Julie came to John and said "Ever since your mother came
to dinner, I cant find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose
your mum 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 the
gravy ladle from my house and I'm not saying you did not take the gravy ladle
but the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for
dinner. Love, John."

Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which read, "Dear
Son, I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Julie, and I'm not saying that
you "do not" sleep with Julie but the fact remains that if she were sleeping
in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now, Love Mum."
