The young bride approached her awaiting husband on their wedding
night and demanded $20 for their first lovemaking encounter.
In his highly aroused state, he readily agreed.
This scenario was repeated each time they made love for the next
30 years, him thinking it was a cute way for her to buy new
clothes, etc.
Arriving home around noon one day, she found her husband in a very
drunken state. Over the next few minutes she heard of the ravages
of financial ruin caused by corporate down sizing and it's effects
on a 50 year old executive.
Calmly, she handed him a bank book showing deposits and interest
for 12 years totaling nearly $1 million dollars.
Pointing across the parking lot she gestured toward the local bank
while handing him stock certificates worth nearly $2 million
dollars and informing him that he was the largest stockholder in
the bank. She told him that for 30 years she had charged him each
time they had sex, and this was the result of her investments.
By now he was distraught and beating his head against the side of
the car.
She asked him why the disappointment at such good news and he
replied, "If I had known what you were doing, I would have given
you all of my business!"
