Wedding bells ring today. A man and a woman are married. On this same day the mother-in-law says to her new son-in-law, "Son, I'm giving this beautiful wedding chest to my daughter in honor of your matrimony, for her memories, sundries, and what-nots for the rest of her life with you. I want you to promise that you will never ask my daughter(your wife) about this chest and that you will never open it for any reason."
The husband paused involuntarily, a little surprised at her request, but finally said,"OK, I promise."
Twenty years later the same couple was having a yard sale and while the husband was rummagging through the attic he came across the wedding chest. Forgetting his promise and his mother-in-law's stern admonition he cut the lock from the chest and opened it. Inside he found more that $10,000 dollars...and two fresh chicken eggs.
Excited about his find, he quickly came downstairs and found his wife. "Honey," said he, "please tell me about the wedding chest!" "Oh no you don't," says the wife, "my mother told you never to ask me about that chest, and, she told me never to tell you about it!" The husband replied, "darling, please, please, I love so much and I just have to know. I promise I won't be upset and that I'll keep an open mind about whatever it is you will tell me."
"Are you sure about that?" says the wife.
"Of course I'm sure, tell me," demanded the husband.
"OK," says the wife,"well, mother said to me on our wedding day that if ever I was unfaithful to you that I should put one egg in the wedding chest."
There was silence for a couple of seconds. Then the husband asked excitedly, "what about the money?"
"Well," explained the wife,"every time I had a dozen eggs I sold them."
