Why Women Lie
One day a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, and her thimble fell into the water.
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 it 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 wooden thimble. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked. Again, the seamstress replied: "No." The Lord went down a third time and came up with a silver 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 water. When she cried out The Lord again appeared and asked her why she was 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 not your husband!" 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 sew enough 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 my story and I'm sticking to it.
