Forgive me for being off topic, but I just discovered your thread this morning(linked from another thread. Ironically I'd also received this in the email this morning also, so I thought I would share.
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
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 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."
