Subject: FW: Doiles

As a new bride, Aunt Edna moved into the small home on her husband's

ranch near Snowflake. She put a shoe box on a shelf in her closet and

asked

her husband never to touch it. For fifty years Uncle Jack left the box

alone, until Aunt Edna was old and dying. One day when he was putting

their affairs in order, he found the box again and thought it might hold

something important.

Opening it, he found two doilies and $82,500 in cash. He took the box to

her

and asked about the contents. " My mother gave me that box

the day we married, " she explained. " She told me to make a doily to help

ease

my frustrations every time I got mad at you. " Uncle Jack was very

touched

that in 50 years she'd only been mad at him twice. " What's the $82,500

for? "

he asked. " Oh, that's the money I made selling the doilies. "
