It was Bob, their neighbor. Without hesitation, Bob said, “I’ll give you $800 to drop the towel.”
After a brief pause, the woman figured $800 was worth it. She dropped the towel, collected the cash, and closed the door.
When she returned upstairs, her husband asked, “Who was at the door?”
“It was Bob,” she replied.
“Perfect! Did he mention the $800 he owes me?”
Moral of the story:
Always get the full story before making a decision—or you might end up caught off guard!
