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!
