how to negotiate successfully

A maid went to a housewife and wanted a higher salary.

Why?! Did the housewife ask.

I have three good reasons – replied the maid.

First, I'm better at ironing shirts than you!

– Who says that?!

– Your husband!! Second, I'm a much better cook than you!

– And who says that?!?

–Your husband! And third, I am better in bed, having sex!

–Oh really? And it's my husband who has said that too!?

–No ma'am, that's what the gardener said...!

–Oh, well, how much of a salary increase did you envisage…?

Typically, you’re supposed to have three independent sources to verify facts, and none of these people seem particularly independent. However, I don’t plan to stand in the way of this blackmail scheme… who knows what this gal might have on me! Well documented, Milagros! A brilliant case study!

Very funny!
