A couple had been married for 50 years.
The man had a large cardboard box under the bed. His wife had noticed this box but never thought much of it.
One day, however, curiosity got the better of her, and she opened it. She found 2 empty beer cans and a bag with some dollar bills and coins.
That night, she asked her husband what this was about.
"Well" he replied. "If you want to know the truth, each time I was unfaithful to you during our marriage, I put an empty beer can in the box".
She was shocked but decided to control her anger and look at the bright side. "I guess two times in 50 years is not terrible, it could have been a lot worse".
He agreed.
Then she asked "But what about the coins and dollar bills?" "Each time the box got full of cans, I would recycle them and put the money there".
