Why 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 wooden 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!
