Ben invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal,
Ben's mother couldn't help but notice how beautiful Ben's roommate,
Jennifer, was.
Ben's Mom had long been suspicious of the platonic relationship between
Ben 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 Ben and Jennifer than met
the eye.
Reading his mom's thoughts, Ben 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 Ben 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?'
Ben 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, Ben

Several days later, Ben received an email back from his mother that

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
