“What’s the difference between a bonus and a penis?” (joke)

A popular off-color joke about an employee bonus is:
 
Q: What’s the difference between a bonus and a penis?
A: Your wife will blow your bonus!

 
The joke was posted to the newsgroup eunet.jokes on April 23, 1990 and has been printed on many images.
