When David and Hillary first get married, David tells her, “I’m putting a box under our bed… “
“You must promise never to look inside it.”
For 30 years, Hillary keeps her promise and never peeks…
However, on the afternoon of their 30th anniversary, curiosity gets the best of her.
She lifts the lid and peeks inside the box…
To her surprise, there are 3 empty beer cans and $2,500 in cash.
That evening, over dinner, Hillary can’t contain her guilt any longer…
She confesses, “David, I’m so sorry. For all these years, I’ve kept my promise and never looked in the box under our bed.”
“But today, the temptation was too much, and I gave in and looked… “
“Now I need to know, why do you keep the empty beer cans in the box?”
David thinks for a while and finally says, “I suppose, after all these years, you deserve to know the truth… “
“Whenever I am unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again.”
Hillary is shocked but says, “I am very disappointed and saddened, but I guess after all those years away from home on the road, temptation does happen… “
“And three times isn’t that bad considering the number of years we’ve been together.”
A little while later, Hillary asks, “So, why do you have all that money in the box?”
David answers, “Well… “
“Whenever the box fills up with empty cans, I take them to the recycling center and redeem them for cash.”
