Joke - The maid's pay rise.

Bedlam - humour.

Jack Chambers has found a new joke - he's always a good source of humour.

The maid asked for a pay increase. The wife was very upset about this and decided to head it off by tackling her about it. She said firmly, 'Now Maria, why do you want a pay increase?'

'Well, Senora, there are three reasons why I want an increase. The first is that I iron better than you.'

'Who said you iron better than me?'

Maria was coy. 'Your husband said so.'

Wife, 'Oh...'

Maria continued shyly, 'The second reason is that I am a better cook than you.'

The wife started to get irate. 'Nonsense, who said you were a better cook than me?'

Maria hung her head. 'Your husband did.'

Wife: 'Oh...'

'My third reason is that I am a better lover than you.'

Wife was really furious now. 'And I suppose my husband said that as well?'

'No Senora....the gardener did.'

Wife, 'So how much raise do you want?'

Great laugh, Jack. Thanks for sending it.
