The maid walked into her boss’s office and confidently said,
“Ma’am, I’d like a raise.”
Her boss looked surprised.
“A raise? And why do you think you deserve one?”
The maid smiled.
“I have three very good reasons.”
“First, I clean this house better than you do.”
The boss frowned.
“Who told you that?”
“Your husband.”
The boss’s eyes narrowed.
“Fine. What’s the second reason?”
“I cook better than you do.”
“Who told you that?”
“Your husband.”
Now the boss was getting suspicious.
“And your third reason?”
The maid took a deep breath.
“I’m also better in bed than you are.”
The boss nearly jumped out of her chair.
“Did my husband tell you THAT?!”
The maid calmly shook her head.
“Nope.”
“Your mailman did.”
The boss froze.
There was a long, awkward silence.
Finally, she sighed and said,
“Fine… you got the raise.”
The maid smiled.
“Thank you, ma’am.”
The boss pointed a finger at her.
“But let’s keep this conversation strictly between us.”
The maid nodded.
“Of course.”
Apparently, some raises come with very complicated payroll negotiations.
