OFF or maybe ON topic joke

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 it to help her
husband in making a living for their family. The Lord dipped His hand
into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with sapphires.

'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked The seamstress replied, 'No.'

The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a golden thimble
studded with rubies.

'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked. Again, the The Lord reached
down again and came up with a leather 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 years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along
the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared
under the 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!'

The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney.
'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 George Clooney, you
would have come up with Brad Pitt.

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 George Clooney.

And so the Lord let her keep him.

The moral of this story is:

Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in
the best interest of others. That's our story, and we're sticking to
it.
