Learning to Keep Ones Mouth Shut
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...  ¶ 2/24/2006 02:04:00 AM
