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 excited 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 deposit 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 the 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 any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!"

That's when she shot him.

You know, sometimes, men just don't know when to keep quiet.

结果是意外惊人的，但过程是别扭烦人的－－30年的‘交易’......

更正：

谢谢原码的启发，特别读了最后几句话，终于弄明白。

当丈夫看到那意外的3百万，不小心道出了他的秘密：他还和别的女人有染，如果他早知老婆有如此特异‘功能’，他会把所有花在别的女人身上的钱全花在老婆身上，那么，存款将不可估量。

老婆听罢，一枪kill 这个背叛她的老公。

男人，沉默是金，什么该说什么不该说，掂量好了。其实，对谁都一样。

悲哀！
