Soybeans
While going through his wife's dresser drawers, a farmer discovered three soybeans and an envelope containing $30 in cash. The farmer confronted his wife, and when asked about the curious items, she confessed:
- Over the years, I haven't been completely faithful to you.
- When I did fool around, I put a soybean in the drawer to remind myself of my indiscretion - she explained.
The farmer admitted that he had not always been faithful either, and therefore, was inclined to forgive and forget a few moments of weakness in his wife.
- I'm curious though - he said:
- Where did the thirty dollars come from?
- Oh that - his wife replied:
- Well, when soybeans hit ten dollars a bushel, I sold out!
