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.
