At the precise moment when the doorbell rings, a man is entering the shower at the same time as his wife is finishing up her shower.
As soon as she can, the wife wraps herself in a towel and dashes down the stairs.
It is Bob, the neighbor who lives next door, who is standing there as she opens the door.
The statement “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel” is made by Bob before she even has a chance to speak.
After giving it some thought for a little period of time, the woman places her towel in front of Bob.
Bob gives her $800 and then walks away after a little moment of silence.
The woman wraps herself in the towel once again and then returns to the upper floor.
In the event that she goes to the restroom, her husband will inquire,
Who exactly was that? The response that she gives is, “It was Bob, the neighbor next door.”
When asked about the $800 that he owes to him, the husband responds, “Great, did he say anything about it?”
