I cashed them
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.":)
