The Maid Wants a Raise
The mistress of the house was annoyed because her maid kept insisting on a raise. "Why do you think you deserve one?" she demanded.
"There are three reasons, ma'am. First, I iron better than you do."
"Who told you that?"
"Your husband did."
"What else?"
"Second, I'm a better cook than you."
"Who dares say you're a better cook than I am?"
"Your husband again."
"This is outrageous!"
"Third, I'm better in bed than you are."
Furious, her employer said, "That husband of mine has some nerve!"
"Calm down, ma'am. Your husband didn't say that. The chauffeur did."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief. "All right. Keep your mouth shut and I'll raise your pay by fifty percent."
"But, ma'am..."
"Fine, I'll double it. Now be quiet!"
