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 totalling 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
