A man was rumaging around in the kitchen looking for something when he happened to look behind the vent for the exhaust fan over the stove. Although it was the last place he expected to find anything, he was surprised to discover a small panel and behind it a small basket containing three eggs and a hundred dollars in twenties. He called his wife in to show her his discovery and was again surprised because she began to sob uncontrollably.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
At first she wouldn't say what was wrong but finally broke down and said "You've discovered my secret."
"What secret?" he replied.
After more sobbing she finally said "Whenever I cheated on you I put an egg in the basket. Please forgive me."
Stunned, the man went to his den and locked the door. After several hours he emerged and said sternly "I've thought it over and since you are obviously so remorseful I have decided to forgive you. But where did the hundred dollars come from?"
"Every time I get up to a dozen eggs I sell them" she replied.
