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 were worth over $2 million,

and informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in the bank.

She explained that for 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
