Investments
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, as he assumed it was a cute way
for her to buy new clothes, etc.
When she arrived home around noon one day, she found her husband in a
very disturbed and drunken state. Over the next few minutes she heard
him tell of the ravages of financial ruin coming down on them as a
result of corporate down sizing and it's effects on them as a 50 year
old executive and wife.
The calm-headed wife loaded him into her car and drove down to the
local hospital; pointing to that fine structure, she informed him that
he owned the land it was built on and that they were paid $6000 per
month rent. She handed him a bank book showing deposits and interest
for 12 years that totaled nearly $1 million dollars.
Pointing across the parking lot she gestured toward the local bank and
handed him stock
certificates worth nearly $2 million dollars and informed him that he
was also the largest stockholder of the bank. She told him that for 30
years she had charged him each time they had sex, and all this was the
results of her investments.
By now he was very distraught and began beating his head against the
side of the car. She was amazed and asked him why he was so seemingly
disappointed at such good news.
He replied, "If I had known what you were doing, I would have given
you all of my business!"
