A man and a woman were married for forty 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."
On the evening of their fortieth anniversary, curiosity got the best of her. She lifted the lid of the box to find three empty beer bottles and about $80 in small bills.
During their anniversary dinner, she confessed, "I am so sorry. For all these years I kept my promise to never look. However, I just had to look today. But now I need to know, why do you keep the bottles in the box?"
The man said, "After our forty years, you deserve the know the truth. Whenever I was unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer bottle in the box to remind myself not to do it again."
She was saddened but thought that three times in forty years wasn't so bad.
She forgave him and said, "Why do you have all that money in the box?"
To which the man replied, "Whenever the box filled with empties, I cashed them in."
