$20 bucks
Twenty Dollars
On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and asked for $20.00 for their 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 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 laid off. 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 30 years of steady deposits and interest toatling nearly $1 million. Then she showed hime certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were worth over $2 million, and informed him that they were one of the largest depositiors in the bank. She explained that for more than three decades she had "charged" him for sex, and these holdings had multiplied and these were the results of her savings and investments. Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth more than $3 million, her husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but he finally found his voice and blurted out, "If I had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business."
That's when she shot him.
