A man invited his aged mother over to dinner at his house one night. During the course of dinner, the mother couldn't help but notice how shapely her son's live in housekeeper was, and became suspicious about their relationship. When she asked her son about it, he assured her that their relationship was purely professional.
Some days after the man's mother had visited for dinner, the housekeeper came to him and said that she could not find the lovely silver gravy ladle, and that it had been missing since the night of his mother's visit. Not wanting to confront his mother directly, the man wrote her this letter: "I'm not saying that you did take the silver gravy ladle from my house and I'm not saying that you didn't take the silver gravy ladle, but the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you visited for dinner."
Several days later a letter came back from his mother: "I'm not saying that you are sleeping with your housekeeper and I'm not saying that you aren't sleeping with your housekeeper, but the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed she would have found the gravy ladle by now."
