$20
On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband
and asked
for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter.
In his highly aroused state, her husband readily agreed.
This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 30
years,
with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new
clothes and
other incidentals that she needed.
Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find her
husband in
a very drunken state. During the next few minutes, he explained that
his
employer was going through a process of corporate downsizing, and he
had
been let go. It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to
find
another position that paid anywhere near what he'd been earning, and
therefore, they were financially ruined.
Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which showed more than thirty
years
of steady deposits and interest totaling nearly $1 million. Then she
showed
him certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were worth over
$2 million, and informed him that they were one of the largest
depositors in
the bank.
She explained that for the more than three decades she had "charged"
him for sex, these holdings had multiplied and these were the results
of her
savings and investments.
Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over $3 million, her
husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but finally he found
his
voice and blurted out, "If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I
would
have given you all my business!"
That's when she shot him.
You know, sometimes, men just don't know when to keep their mouths
shut
