Married Couple and the Box

A man and a women were married for 40 years.
When they first got married the man said, "I am putting a box under
the bed. You must promise never to look in it."

In all their 40 years of marriage the woman 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
bottles and $1874.25 in small bills. 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 at their favorite
restaurant. After dinner the woman 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. However today the temptation
was too much and I gave in. But now I need to know why do you keep the
bottles in the box?"

The man thought for a while and said: "I guess after all these
wonderful years you deserve to know the truth: "Whenever I was
unfaithful to you I put an empty beer bottle in the box under the
bed to remind myself not to do it again."

The woman was shocked, but said: "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 that 3 times is not that bad considering the
years."

They hugged and made their peace.
A little while later the woman asked the man: "Why do you have all
that money in the box?"
To which the man answered: "Whenever the box filled with empties, I
cashed them in."
