Subject: Box under the bed

< Box under the bed
<
< When Bill and Hillary first got married Bill said, "I am
putting a box
under
< the bed. You must promise never to look in it." In all
their 30
years of
< marriage Hillary never looked.
<
< However, on the afternoon of their 30th anniversary,
curiosity
got the
best
< of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box
were 3 empty
< beer cans and $81,874.25 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, "Hmmm, Jennifer, Paula and
Monica. I am
< very disappointed and saddened but 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, "So why do you
have
all that
money
< in the box?"
<
< Bill answered, "Well, whenever the box filled up with empty
cans, I took
< them to the recycling center and redeemed them for cash."
