I invited my mother for dinner and, during the course of the meal, I realized she couldn't help but notice how lovely Joanne was. Joanne is my flat mate. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two of us, and this only made her more curious.
So I volunteered, "I know what you are thinking, but I assure you, Joanne & I are just flat mates. Our only common interest is music."
About a week later, Joanne came to me saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the frying pan, you don't suppose she took it do you?"
"Well I doubt it, but I'll eMail her just to be sure..."

Dear Mother,
I'm not saying that you DID take the frying pan from my house. I'n not saying that you DID NOT take the frying pan but the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Bobby.

Several days later, I received an email from my mother which read:

Dear Son,
I'm not saying that you DO sleep withy Joanne, and I'm not saying that you DO NOT sleep with Joanne, but the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the frying pan by now.
Love, Mum.

Don't lie to your mother!
