| 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 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!'
 
 That's when she shot him.
 
 You know, sometimes, men just don't know when
 To keep their mouths shut
