Womans critical information.
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is drying off from her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bert, the next door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bert says, “I’ll give you £900 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bert. After a few seconds, Bert hands her £900 thanks her and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, “Who was that?” “It was Bert from next door.” She replies. “Great,” the husband says, “did he say anything about the £900 he owes me?”
