On their wedding night, a bride asked her husband for $20 for their first lovemaking encounter.
He agreed.
This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 40 years ~ he viewed it as a cute way for her to afford new clothes and shoes.
You know, more STUFF!
Arriving home at noon one day, the wife found her husband falling off the couch drunk.
“I’ve been let go. Corporate downsizing. Those bastards! I’m 64. I’ll never find a position that pays anywhere near what I’ve been earning. We’re ruined!”
His wife smiled and handed him a bank book with forty years of steady deposits and interest.
The account totaled nearly $1 million.
Shocked, her husband stared at the total and then said:
“If I’d had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you ALL my business!”
That’s when she gave him the business!
Aah . . . that’s better!

You know, some men just don’t know when to keep their mouths shut.
Less IS more.
