Three Empty Beer Bottles

---

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
better 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 bottles 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 disappointead 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."
