800 Dollar And A Wife

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.

The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.

When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.

Before she says a word, Bob says, ‘I’ll give you $800 to drop that.’

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops and stands in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.

The woman goes back upstairs.

When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,

‘Who was that?’

‘It was Bob the next door neighbor,’ she replies.

‘Great,’ the husband says,

‘did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?’

Moral of the story:
