Thursday Special ~ Twenty Dollars
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 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 known what you were doing,
I would have given you all my business!’
That’s when she shot him.

My wife only charges me $5. So far she has only $10 in the bank.

We were in a big hotel one night and my husband went into the lobby bar for a drink. While there he was approached by a “Lady of the Evening”. He asked her how much she charged. She said,”$500.00″.
My husband said,”That’s way too much. I can only afford $20.00.” She walked away.
The next morning we got in the elevator to go down to breakfast and there was this same woman in the elevator with us.
She looked me up and down and smirked as she said to my husband,” See what you get for $20.00?”

Rummy, sorry! I will send you $10. I was saving it, just in case.

If she’d made that much money, why hadn’t she left him some time ago? Especially if another man might have paid her $50….

Ramana - $10 would hardly buy you a wife!
Judy - They are good!
Mayo - Is that your life’s savings?
Nick - Maybe all she wanted was a steady income!

I could have charged & made a lotta money.
But I still get his money. His job is to make money.
My job is to spend it.

BHB - By the sound of it he made plenty!
Gaelikaa - Why?

Oh, I don’t know. It’s not about how much. Most husband’s job was to make money. Wife’s job was to spend it, in the “olden days”. Now wives work.

BHB - Now wives work and spend their own money!
