Sugar Bowl
Mrs. Cohen comes to visit her son Simon for dinner, who lives with
a female room-mate Rachel. During the course of the meal, his
mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Simon's room-mate was.
She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two,
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 Simon and his room-mate than met the
eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Simon volunteered, "I know
what you must be thinking, but I assure you Rachel and I are just
room-mates."
About a week later, Rachel came to Simon saying, "Ever since your
Mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver sugar
bowl. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" Simon replied, "
Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure."
So he sat down and wrote:
"Dear Momma,
I'm not saying that you 'did' take the sugar bowl from my house, I'm
not saying that you 'did not' take it. But the fact remains that it
has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Simon"
Several days later, Simon received a response email from his
Momma which read:
"Dear Son,
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Rachel, and I'm not saying
that you 'do not' sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she
was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the sugar
bowl by now.
Love, Momma"

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
