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.
