TWENTY DOLLARS
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 40 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 forty 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 more than
three decades she had 'charged' him for sex.
These holdings had multiplied and were the result 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. 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.
Sometimes men just don't know when
to keep their mouths shut . . .
