“A Smart Wife and Dumb Husband”
On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and
asked for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter. Her husband readily agreed.
This scenario was repeated
each time they made love, for more than 40 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 forty 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 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!"
