On their anniversary, Vera said, "Fred, as my present to you, I will let you look into my hope chest."

Fred excitedly opened the chest. The chest was full of money. On top of the money lay three eggs. "What's the deal with these eggs?" asks Fred.

Vera replied, "Well, every time in the past fifty years that I was unfaithful to you, I place an egg in this chest."

Fred thought about this for a minute, concluding that three times in fifty years wasn't so bad, then asked, "Where did all this money come from?".

Vera replied, "Oh, every time I got a dozen eggs, I sold them."
