Money has different names!!!
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 a bank, it's loan.

When you offer a good service, it's tips. To kidnappers, it's ransom. Illegally received in the name of service, it's a bribe.

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...
 
I will have to visit the Duty Free zone at the airport on my next trip !
