How to negotiate a pay raise the Mexican way

A Mexican maid asked for a pay increase.

The wife was very upset about this and asked: 'Now Maria, why do you
want a pay increase?'

Maria: 'Well Senora, there are three reasons why I want an increase.
The first is that I iron better than you.'
Wife: 'Who said you iron better than me?'
Maria: 'Your husband said so.'
Wife: 'Oh.'
Maria: 'The second reason is that I am a better cook than you.'
Wife: 'Nonsense, who said you were a better cook than me?'
Maria: 'Your husband did
'Wife: 'Oh.'
Maria: 'My third reason is that I am a better lover than you.'
Wife (really furious now): 'Did my husband say that as well? '
'Maria: 'No Senora, the gardener did.'

SHE GOT THE RAISE
