Smart Bride

"Smart Bride"

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,
furs, make up, 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 its effects on
a 50 year old executive.

Calmly, she handed him a bank book showing deposits
and interest for 30 years totaling nearly $1 million dollars.
Pointing across the parking lot, she gestured toward the
local bank while handing him stock certificates worth
nearly $4 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!"
