Subject: Bill Clinton's Secret Wooden Box.......
An oldie doing the rounds again !!
|
When Bill and Hillary first got married, Bill said, "I am putting
a box under our 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
better of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the
box there were 3 empty beer cans and $1,874.25 in cash.
After dinner, Hillary could no longer contain her guilt and she
confessed, saying, "I am so sorry. For all these years I kept my
promise and never looked in 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 empty cans in the box?"
Bill thought for a while and said, "I guess that 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 disappointed 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 number of years we've been together."
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."
