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 was worth over $2
million, and informed him that they were one of
the largest depositors in the bank. She
explained that for more than four 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.
Sometimes men just don't know
when to keep their mouths shut.
