If It Weren't For MY Money
===========================
John and Roberta were touring their brand new house. It was a
house that Roberta had paid for with her money, a fact of which
she constantly reminded John. In each room of the house she said
to her husband: "John, if it were not for my money, we would not
be here."
John didn't say a word.
That afternoon a truck delivered a load of new furniture...
furniture which Roberta paid for with her money. After the
furniture was in its place, they toured the house again. As they
observed each room, beautifully appointed and magnificently
decorated, Roberta reminded her husband: "John, if it were not
for my money, this furniture would not be here."
Again, John was silent.
Late in the afternoon another truck came with a special piece of
furniture which was to be the focal point of the family room. It
was a combination stereo-television-computer center all wrapped
into one gorgeous piece of furniture. Roberta paid for it with
her money. When it was in place, Roberta again said: "John, if
it were not for my money, that beautiful electronics system
would not be here."
Finally, John spoke:
"Honey, I don't want to make you feel bad, but...
if it were not for your money,
I wouldn't be here either!"
