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 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.
