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 and gave her the money. This scenario was repeated each and every time they made love, throughout forty years of marriage. All along he thought it was nothing more than a cute way for her to be able to afford new clothes and other incidentals that she needed or wanted.
One day day her husband arrived home from work early, in a very distraught state. He explained to his wife that his employer was going through a process of corporate downsizing, and as part of the downsizing he had been forcibly retired with little more to show for it than a handshake, an engraved watch, and a very small pension. He went on to lament that, at his present age of 59, it was unlikely that 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 one million dollars. She then showed him certificates of deposit issued by the bank, the total value of which exceeded two million dollars. She informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in the bank. She went on to explain that she had been "charging" him for sex over the past four decades, but carefully and conscientiously banked away the money he had given her. These holdings had multiplied and here now were the results of her savings and financial management.
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.
