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 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 WA s 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 thir ty 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.
