Here's one a friend just sent me:

________________

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

The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the river, 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".

Again, the Lord 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 and her husband were walking along the riverbank, and her husband fell into
the rushing water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, "Why are you crying"?

"Oh, Lord, my husband has fallen into the river", she replied.

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 three husbands, so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to Mel Gibson".

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

(That's our story and were sticking to it.)
