The Maid's Pay Raise

The Maid asked For a Pay Increase

The wife was very upset about this and decided to talk to her about the raise.

The conversation went like this:

She asked:"Now Maria, why do you want a pay increase??"

Maria:"Well, Señora, there are three reasons why I want an increase.  The first is that I iron better than you."

Wife:"Who said you iron better than me?"

Maria:"Your husband said so."

Wife:"Oh."

Maria:"The second reason is that I am a better cook than you."

Wife:"Nonsense, who said you were a better cook than me?"

Maria: "Your husband did."

Wife:"Oh."

Maria:"My third reason is that I am a better lover than you."

Wife, really furious now,

"Did my husband say that as well?"

Maria: "No Señora...the gardener did."

Wife:  "So how much do you want?"
