Bob stares wide-eyed, clearly stunned by what he just saw. He fumbles in his pocket, hands the woman $800, and walks away in silence — face red, hands shaking.
The woman, half in disbelief and half relieved that it was over so quickly, wraps herself back in the towel and rushes upstairs. Her husband, who’s now drying off from the shower, casually asks, “Who was at the door, honey?”
“Oh, it was Bob, the next-door neighbor,” she says, trying to sound calm.
Her husband nods and asks, “Oh yeah? Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”
The woman freezes, towel still clutched to her chest, realizing what just happened. Her jaw drops as the husband continues getting dressed, completely unaware of the show Bob just got downstairs.
Moral of the story:
Always keep communication open in your marriage — and maybe check with your spouse before accepting any “unexpected offers” from the neighbors.
