Bill and Hillary were married for 40 years. When they first got
married Bill said, "I am putting a box under the bed. You must promise
never to look in it." In all their 40 years of marriage Hillary never
looked. However on the afternoon of their 40th anniversary curiosity
got the best of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the
box were 3 empty beer cans and $1874.25 in cash. She closed the box
and put it back under the bed.
Now that she knew what was in the box, she was doubly curious as to
why. That evening they were out for a special dinner. After dinner
Hillary could no longer contain her curiosity and she confessed,
saying, "I am so sorry.For all these years I kept my promise and never
looked into the box under our bed. However today the temptation was
too much and I gave in. But now I need to know why do you keep the
cans in the box?" Bill thought for a while and said, "I guess after
all these years you deserve to know the truth. Whenever I was
unfaithful to you I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to
remind myself not to do it again."
Hillary was shocked, but said, "I am very disappointed and saddened
but Iguess after all those years away from home on the road,
temptation does happen and I guess that 3 times is not that bad
considering the years." They hugged and made their peace. A little
while later Hillary asked Bill, "Why do you have all that money in the
box?" Bill answered, "Whenever the box filled with empties, I cashed
them in."
