When Bill and Hillary first got married, Bill said, "I am putting a
box under our bed. You must promise never to look in it."
In all their 30 years of marriage, Hillary never looked. However, on
the afternoon of their 30th anniversary, curiosity got the better of
her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box there were 3
empty beer cans and $1,974.25 in cash.
After dinner, Hillary could no longer contain her guilt and she
confessed saying, "I am so sorry. For all these years, I kept my
promise and never looked in the box under the bed. However, today the
temptation was to much and I gave in. But now I need to know, Why do
you keep the empty cans in the box?"
Bill thought of a while and said, "I guess that 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 to remind myself not to do it again."
Hillary was shocked, but thought to herself, "I am very disappointed
and saddened, but I guess after all those years away from home on the
road, temptation does happen and I guess three times is not that bad
considering the number of years we have been together..." They hugged
and made their peace. A little while later, Hillary asked Bill, "So
why do you have all that money in the box?"
Bill answered. "Well, whenever the box filled up with empty cans, I
took them to the recycling center and redeemed them for cash."
