A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years.  They had shared everything, had talked about everything and had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old lady had a shoebox in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask about.  For all of these years, he had never thought about the box; till, one day the little old lady got very sick and the doctor said she wouldn’t recover.  In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoebox and took it to his wife's bedside.  She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box.  When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and $95,000. He asked her about the contents.
 
"When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue.  She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."

The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears.  Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him twice in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness. "Honey," he said, "that explains the two dolls, but what about all of this money?"  

"Oh," she said, "I got a dollar apiece for all the other dolls I sold."
