pay increase !

The young Mexican maid asked for a pay increase.
Her mistress 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?’

Maria: ‘Well, Señora, there are three reasons why I want an increase.’
The first is that I iron better than you.’
Mistress: ‘Who said you iron better than me?’
Maria: ‘Your husband said so.’
Mistress: ‘Oh.’

Maria: ‘The second reason is that I am a better cook than you.’
Mistress: ‘Nonsense, who said you were a better cook than me?’
Maria: ‘Your husband did.’
Mistress: ‘Oh.’

Maria: ‘My third reason is that I am a better lover than you..’
Mistress: (really furious now): ‘Did my husband say that as well?’
Maria: ‘No Señora…the gardener did.’
Mistress: ‘So how much do you want?’
