    £20

    On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and asked for £20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter. In his highly aroused state, her husband readily agreed.

    This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 30 years, with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new clothes and other incidentals that she needed. Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find her husband in a very drunken state.

    During the next few minutes, he explained that his employer was going through a process of corporate downsizing, and he had been let go. It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find another position that paid anywhere near what he'd been earning, and therefore, they were financially ruined.

    Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which showed more than thirty years of steady deposits and interest totaling nearly £1 million. Then she showed him certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were worth over £2 million, and informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in the bank.

    She explained that for the more than three decades she had "charged" him for sex, these holdings had multiplied and these were the results of her savings and investments.

    Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over £3 million, her husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out, "If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!"

    That's when she stabbed him.

    You know, sometimes, men just don't know when to keep their mouths shut.

    Re: £20

    Heheh


    but...

    £3,000,000 / £20 = 150,000 payments

    150,000 payments / 35 years = 4286 per year

    4286 per year / 365 = 11 times per day, every day for 35 years!



    Lucky guy! But then at the rate of £20 a session that's £220 a day!

    You can count on a site like this to geek out a simple joke.

    Maybe it was an offshore compound interest account

    It's called procrastination

    Having no-one to share the work with is making me very good at it

    Re: £20

    8 minutes a day isn't much though really is it?
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Re: £20

    And to out-geek you all...

    Based on an annually-compound interest rate of 5% after tax, 6/day is what you'll need:


    Price 20
    Number / day 6
    Number / year 2191.5

    Deposits / year 43830

    Interest rate 5%

    Year Opening Deposits Sum Interest Closing
