A man is getting into shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and ran downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stand BOB, the next-door neighbour. Before she had even say a word, BOB said: "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops the towel and she stood naked in front of BOB.
After a few seconds, BOB handed her $800 and left.
The woman quickly wrapped the towel around her and goes back upstairs to put on some clothings.
When she got to the bathroom, her husband asked : "Who was that?"
"It was BOB, the next-door neighbour." she replied.
Before she could even continue with her speech, her husband interrupted, "Great! Did he said anything about the $800 that he owned me?"
