[Brinty]

Heard about a couple recently who had a Mexican maid. It seems the maid was pressing for a pay rise but the wife wasn't happy about giving her one and decided to give her a good talking to.

Before she could start the conversation the maid declared , "I have three good reasons for feeling sure you will give me a pay rise."

The wife was taken aback at this and before she could reply, the maid began, "first, I iron better than you do."

"Oh, and who told you that?" asked the wife.

"Your husband. And I cook better than you."

Taken somewhat aback, the wife replied, "Oh, you do, do you? and who told you that?"

With a sly smile on her face the maid responded, "Your husband, and I make love better than you do too."

The wife, now almost bursting with indignation, snarled, "I suppose my husband told you that as well!"

"No," said the maid, "it was the gardener."

Completely deflated, the wife asked, "how big a pay rise do you want?"
