Wife Refuses To Give Her Maid A Pay Raise

Maria was a 19-year-old Mexican maid who worked for a wealthy Californian couple. She wasn’t well

paid, and one day she asked her boss for a pay increase. Her boss was annoyed at this and 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?”
