The Raise Request

A maid asked for a pay increase.

The wife was very upset about this and asked: "Times are tough. I must make do on what my husband gives me. I'm not getting a raise. Tell me three reasons why you deserve one."

Maid says, "Well Ma'am, The first is that I iron better than you."

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

Maid: "Your husband said so."

Wife: "I see."

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

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

Maid: "Your husband did."

Wife: "Oh."

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

Wife: "Did my husband say that as well?!"

Maid: "No Ma'am, the gardener did."

She got the raise.
