The maid asked for a pay increase.

The wife was very upset about this and decided to talk to her about the raise. Sitting Maria down, she asked, “Now Maria, why do you want a pay increase at this time of the year?”

Maria answered, “Well, Senora, there are three reasons why I wanna increase.”

“The first is that I iron better than you.”

Taken aback, the wife immediately snaps back with, “Well, who said you iron better than me?”

Maria: “Your husband, he say so.”

Wife: “Oh yeah?”

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”

Now properly agitated, the wife blurted out: “Oh he did – did he???”

Maria: “The third reason is that I am better at sex than you in the bed.”

Wife, really boiling now and through gritted teeth: “And did my husband say that as well?”

“No Senora…,” replied Maria softly: “The gardener did.”
