    Mrs. O'Brien comes to visit her son Seamus for 3 days in Dublin where he is
    studying. She finds out that her son lives with Vikki, a girl room mate.
    Mrs. O'Brien couldn't help but notice how pretty Seamus's room-mate was. She
    suspects of a relationship between the two, and this had only made her more
    curious. Reading his Mum's thoughts, Seamus volunteered, "I know what you
    must be thinking, but I assure you, Vikki and I are just room-mates."

    About a week later, Vikki came to Seamus saying,"Ever since your mother
    left, I've been unable to find the silver sugar bowl. You don't suppose she
    took it do you?" "Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure."

    So he sat down and wrote:

    Dear Mam,
    I'm not saying that you "did" take the sugar bowl from my house, and I'm not
    saying that you "did not" take it. But the fact remains that it has been
    missing ever since you left.
    Love, Seamus

    Several days later, Seamus received an email from his Mam which read:

    Dear Son,
    I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Vikki, 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, Mam.

    Lesson of the day... Don't Lie to Your Mother...especially if she is Irish.

    Theory:
    PersonA reads a joke on boards. PersonA e-mails joke to PeopleB.
    PeopleB think "Jesus great joke!" I think I'm post that on boards.
    And thus peopleC get lumbered with the vicious cycle...

    My 1 cent, it's not even worth 2.

    sinecure we do not care u have seen it before or if it has been posted before . If I was to come across a joke I have read in here on a previous ocassion(which I have many times) I would just leave it rather than telling everyone when it was posted and how many times I have seen it because I am sure everyone really doesent care .mmmmmmkkkkkk

    yea, i find people who reply 'seen it' and 'posted before' to be far more annoying than reposts

    FOR THE LOVE OF ****ING GOD.

    If you have seen it before no need to post it I however did not see this before and enjoyed it.

    I have strange feeling people posting there 2 words "seen it" have a alterior motive of a post count on hand ?
