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 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 hersavings
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.
