Margarita the maid asked for a pay increase. The wife was not too happy about this and said, "Margarita, times are tough. I must make do on what my husband gives me. I'm not getting a raise. Tell me three reasons why you deserve one."
"Well Senora, I iron better than you."
The wife asked, "Who said you iron better than me?"
"Your husband said so."
"I see."
Margarita continued, "The second reason is that I am a better cook than you."
"Nonsense, who said you were a better cook than me?"
The maid replied, "Your husband did."
"Oh."
Finally, she said, "My third reason is that I am a better lover than you."
Aghast, the wife asked, "Did my husband say that as well?"
"No Senora, the gardener did."
She got the raise.
