When Bill and Hillary first got married, Bill said, "I'm putting a box under the bed. You must promise never to look in it." In all their 30 years of marriage, Hillary never looked inside the box. On the afternoon of their 30th anniversary, however, curiosity got the best of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box were 3 empty beer cans and $81,874.25 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 there even was such a box. That evening, she and Bill went out for a special anniversary dinner. After dinner, Hillary could no longer contain her curiosity and confessed, saying, "I am so sorry. For all these years, I kept my promise and never looked inside the box under our bed. But today, the temptation was too much and I gave in. Now I need to know why you keep the 3 beer cans in the box?" Bill thought for a moment, then 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 never to do it again." At first, Hillary was shocked, but then she thought to herself, "Hmmm. That means Jennifer, Paula and Monica. I'm saddened by that, but since he's addicted to sex, I guess it happens. Besides, 3 times in 30 years isn't all that bad considering his problem." "Okay", said Hillary, "I can live with that." Bill thanked her for being so understanding. They hugged and made their peace. A little while later Hillary asked, "So why do you have all that money in the box?" "Well", Bill replied, "whenever the box filled up with empty cans, I took them to the recycling center and redeemed them for cash." |
