Twenty bucks makes....

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.
