When a newly married couple moved into their new home, the husband told his wife that they should not have secrets from one another, but that it would be best if she does not open the tan suitcase that he placed in the attic. For many years, she kept her promise not to open the suitcase. This took great willpower. One day, however, she couldn’t resist. She peeked into the suitcase and was surprised to see five eggs and thousands of dollars in cash. That evening, she apologized to her husband for letting cuiriosity get the better of her. “But can you explain why there are five eggs there?” she asked. “Yes,” he answered, “Every time I got angry at you, I put in one egg.” “Well, that’s not bad,” she replied. “After so many years of marriage, there are only five eggs. But what about all that cash?” she asked. Looking straight at her, he explained: “Every time I had a dozen eggs, I sold them.”
