After 50 Years, They Finally Told the Truth
A retired couple sitting at home was reliving their 50 years of marriage together.
The wife finally had gotten the courage to ask “Whats the cigar box under the bed you told me to never open?”
The husband sat a moment and then got up, abruptly leaving the room. When he returned, he had the cigar box. He sat down and opened it. Inside, there were three 50$ bills.
“I wasnt always the man i am today. I havent always been faithful. Times were tough when we were younger and it caused us to struggle even more but every time I was unfaithful, I put 50$ in this box to remind myself how much I was hurting us.”
The wife sat silent a few minutes. She had tears in her eyes when she stood up and went outside. As she drove away, her husband feared he may have hurt her too badly for their marriage to survive.
To his surprise, she returned after a while. She had a jar with $50.05 in it. She explained that she also had been unfaithful and made the gentlemen leave something behind so she too would have a reminder.
The husband seemed saddened and relieved, but confused, all at the same time. The wife asked for his reaction.
“I dont understand. Whos the AH that left five cents?!?”
“What do you mean? They all left five cents.”
