Money has many different names!!! (a funny macho joke) In temple or church, it's called Donation. In school, it's Fee. In marriage, it's called Dowry. In divorce, Alimony. When you owe someone, it's Debt. When you pay the government, it's Tax. In court, it's Fines. Civil servant retirees, it's Pension. Employer to workers, it's Salary. Master to subordinates, it's Wages. To children, it's Allowance. When you borrow from bank, it's Loan. When you offer after a good service, it's Tips. To kidnappers, it's Ransom. Illegally received in the name of service, it's Bribe or Corruption. The question is: "When a husband gives to his wife, what do we call it???" ANSWER: Money given to your wife is called DUTY, and every man has to do his duty because wives are not DUTY FREE.
