Around four weeks ago, I signed up for Twitter. I stumbled upon it on my daily forays to the "help-me-out-here" websites. I've never used Twitter and frankly I don't know why all of a sudden it's so popular. It looks like SMS (Short Messaging Service) to me. So, to satisfy my curiosity, I joined in. At first, I didn't quite understand what with the following and the followers. Do they follow me back if I follow them? Eerily, some 'tweeters' or 'tweeps' (that's what they call them right?) have decided that they'll follow me even if I have not followed them. I guess it's an invitation to follow them? So, I did. I now have a modest 24 followers and I'm following a little over 33 tweeters.
Ok, my daughter is whining. She's getting hungry after all the biking she did this morning.

Twenty Dollars
I have nothing to post. My job is taking up much of my time and so... Anyway, I was checking my emails and found this one in my inbox. I thought I'd share the following with everyone...
---------------------
TWENTY DOLLARS
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 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 shot him.
