A Mom comes to visit her son Kumar for dinner.....who lives with a girl roommate Sunita.
During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Kumar's, roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this had only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Kumar and his roommate than met the eye.
Reading his mom's thoughts, Kumar volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Sunita and I are just roommates."
About a week later, Sunita came to Kumar saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver plate. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" Kumar said ,"Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure."
So he sat down and wrote:
Dear Mother:
I'm not saying that you 'did' take the silver plate from my house, I'm not saying that you 'did not' take the silver plate..
But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Kumar
Several days later, Kumar received an email from his Mother which read
Dear Son:
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Sunita, and I'm not saying that you do not' sleep with Sunita. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the silver plate by now under the pillow...
Love,
Mom.
Lesson of the day:
Don't Lie to Your Mother...........

Alien Pitch
Two aliens were visiting earth to research local customs. They split up so that they could learn more in their time on earth.
When they met to exchange notes, the first alien described " I went to a large green field shaped like a crater. Around the edges, several thousand worshipers gathered. Then two priests walked to the center 0f the field to a rectangular area and hammered six spears into the ground, three at each end. Then eleven more priests walked out, clad in white robes. Then two high priests wielding clubs walked to the center and one of the other priests starts throwing a red orb at the ones with the clubs."
"Gee" replied the other alien. " What happened next".
"Then it began to rain ...." ---
Getting what they are referring to?????
Just Listen
"How shall I experience my Oweness with Creation"
"By Listening" said the master
"And how am I to listen?"
"Become an ear that gives heed to every single thing the universe is saying. The moment you hear something you yourself are saying, stop".
