One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, 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 that she

needed the thimble to help her husband in making a living for the two of them.

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 again 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 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'm not in the best

of health and would not be 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's for a good and honorable

reason, and for the benefit of others.

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