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.
