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
there in a very depressed and saddened 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. Further, it was unlikely
that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find another position that paid
any where 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 Deposit issued by their 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, the $20 she had
"charged" him for sex had been dutifully deposited and invested and
multiplied and this $3 million was the results of her savings and
investments. 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.
