The doorbell rang as a woman was getting out of the shower. She hastily wrapped herself in a towel and answered the door as her husband was preparing to take a shower.
Their neighbor, Bob, was the one. Bob said, “I’ll give you $800 to drop the towel,” without hesitation.
The woman hesitated for a moment, then decided that $800 was worth it. After dropping the towel and gathering the money, she shut the door.
“Who was at the door?” her husband questioned as she came back upstairs.
“That was Bob,” she said.
“Excellent! Was the $800 he owes me mentioned?
The lesson here is to always gather all the information before making a decision, or you risk being taken by surprise!
