The Wife Who Invested Every $20

The young bride approached her awaiting husband on their wedding night and demanded $20 for their first love-making 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. He had been laid off, and was ranting and raving about corporate down-sizing, and outsourcing, and what it was doing to hard-working Americans.

Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book showing deposits and interest for 12 years totaling nearly one million dollars.

Pointing across the parking lot she gestured toward the local bank while handing him stock certificates worth nearly two million dollars and informing him that they were the largest stockholders in the bank.

She told him that each time she had charged him for sex she had invested the money, and this was the result.

By now the guy seemed even more distraught, and was beating his head against the kitchen table.

"Why are you so upset?" the wife asked. "Isn't this good news?"

And he replied, "If I had known what you were doing, I would have given you all of my business!"
