why women lie

was checking my mails in the morning..got this forwarded mail..very funny..i am sharing the joke..read on and enjoy!

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
> honourable reason and for the benefit of others. That's our story
and...
> we're sticking to it!
