A joke a friend of mine sent me

Gravy Ladle
> > John invited his mother over for dinner. During
the
meal his mother couldn't help noticing how beautiful
John's roommate 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 met the eye.

> >Reading his mom'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've been
unable to find the beautiful 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 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 was sleeping in her own bed, she would have
found the gravy ladle by now.
Love, Mom.

> > Lesson of the day: Don't lie to your mother.
 
Busted! I have heard a different version of this, but this is a good one also. :)
 
The version I read was a month ago on this forum, but it involved a maid (Julie) a bishop (John) and a priest (Mother).
