The Maid

The maid of a wealthy family asked for a pay increase.
The wife was very upset about this and decided to talk to her about the raise.
She asked: “Now Maria, why do you want a pay increase?”
“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.”
The wife, furious, “Did my husband say that as well?”
Maria, “No…the gardener did.”
Wife, “So how much do you want?”
