A married couple both lost their jobs at the broom factory, and were having a hard time finding new jobs. Unfortunately, their mounting credit card debt required some immediate income. The wife suggested that she could whore herself out, but her husband was a little less than thrilled about the prospect. But financial necessities got the best of her. She came back one night with a huge wad of cash, and fussed up to her hubby. He was upset, but asked how much she made.
“$398.10,” she said.
“Who paid ten cents?” he asked.
“Everybody.”
