The Mexican maid asked for a pay increase. The wife 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 explained, “Well, Señora, there are three reasons why I want an increase. The first is that I iron better than you.”
Raising her eyebrows the wife replies, “Who said you iron better than me?”
“Your husband said so.”
“Oh yeah?”
Maria continued, “The second reason is that I am a better cook than you.”
“Nonsense,” replied the wife, “Who said you were a better cook than me?”
“Your husband did.” said Maria.
Wife increasingly agitated, replied “Oh he did, did he??”
Maria: “My third reason is that I am a better lover than you.”
Wife, really boiling now and through gritted teeth, ”And did my husband say that as well?”
“No Señora…….”, replied Maria, ”the gardener did.”
“So how much do you want?” asked the wife.
