Gravy Ladle
John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his
mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and handsome the
butler was. Over the course of the evening, she started to
wonder if there was more between John and the butler than
met the eye. she always supects her son was gay which he
deny everytime she hints
Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I
know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my
relationship with my butler is purely professional."
About a week later, the butler 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
butler, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with
your butler. But the fact remains that if he was sleeping
in his own bed, he would have found the gravy ladle by now.
Love, Mom"
