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: “Well Senora, there are three reasons I want an increase. The first is that I iron better than you.”
Wife: “…Who said you iron better than I?”
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 I?”
Maria: “Your husband did.”
Wife: “Oh.”
Maria: “The 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.”
She got her raise
