Her boss was anoyed at this and asked, "Now Maria, why do you want a pay increase?"

Maria: "Well, 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, the gardener did.”

Wife: “So... How much do you want?”
