[Bill]

A maid asked for a pay increase. The wife was very upset about this and asked: "Now Maria, why do you want a pay increase?"

Maria said, "Well, Senora, 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 Senora, the gardener did."

Wife, "So . . . . how much of a raise are you talking about?"
