Men have no common sense...

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 40 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 forty years of steady deposits and interest totaling nearly $1 million. Then she showed him certificates of deposits issued by the bank which was 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 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 their mouths shut.

An oldie but a goody. I don't understand why he was shot ...

That joke always makes me wish I would've charged my ex-husbands.

Wonders what provider math the banks used to make the money multiply??

Good one, so sad so many men do not learn from it.

Actually- I heard that one originally with a different ending. He comes home after losing his job and she takes him to the window of their high-rise flat. Shoe points at an office building in the next block and tells him that they own it. Same with a small commercial center and a half dozen other properties.

"How is this possible?" he asks. "Well- you know that money I have gotten from you every time we made love? In vested it?" He is astonished "How can you have gotten this much real estate on that small amount of money?" "Well..." shes says "...not everyone is as cheap as you are!"

No, unfortunately it's not illegal to be an asshole.

Apparently, it's not against the rules to be one on this board, either...

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Kisses to you, Ginger, for keeping up a good front...

...and a damn fine back, too!

Posting real-life personal info? That's against the rules...but you already knew that, didn't you?
