A man was getting into the shower just as his wife was finishing her shower, when the doorbell rang. After a few seconds of arguing over who should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gave up, quickly wrapped herself up in a towel and ran downstairs. When she opened the door, there was Bob, their next-door neighbor. Bob looked at her and said, "I'll give you $800 if drop that towel."

After thinking for a moment, the woman dropped her towel and stood naked in front of Bob.

After a seconds, Bob gave her $800 and left. Confused, but excited about her good fortune, the woman wrapped back up with the towel and went upstairs.

When she got back to the bathroom, her husband asked from the shower, "Who was that?"

"It was Bob from next door," she replied.

"Great," the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he borrowed from me?"
