A morning chuckle ~ Why do women lie?

One day a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a
river and her thimble fell into the river. When she cried
out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"

The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the
water, and she needed the thimble to make her living.

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a
golden thimble. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked. The
seamstress replied,

"No."

The Lord again went down and came up with a silver
thimble. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.

Again, the seamstress replied, "No."

The Lord went down again and came up with a tin
thimble. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.

The seamstress replied, "Yes."

The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her
all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home
happy.

Some time later, the seamstress was walking with her
husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the
river. When she cried out, The Lord again appeared and
asked her, "Why are you crying?"

"Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the water!"

The Lord went down into the water and came up with Mel
Gibson. "Is this your husband?" the Lord asked.

"Yes!" cried the seamstress

The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"

The seamstress replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a
misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Mel
Gibson, you would have come up with Tom Cruise. Then if I
said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband.
Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three.
Lord, I am a poor woman and am not able to take care of all
three husbands, so THAT'S why I said yes to Mel Gibson."


The moral of this story is: Whenever a woman lies, it is
for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit of
others.

That's our story, and we're sticking to it!
