The $800 Debt | 八百美元的债务

English Original

A man is about to get into the shower as his wife finishes hers. The doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. She opens the door to find Bob, the next-door neighbor.

Before she can speak, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel."

After a moment's thought, the woman drops her towel and stands naked before him. Bob hands her $800 and leaves. She wraps the towel around herself again and goes back upstairs.

Her husband, still in the bathroom, asks, "Who was that?"

"It was Bob, the next-door neighbor," she replies.

"Great!" the husband says. "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"


中文翻译

一位男士正准备洗澡,他的妻子刚洗完。这时门铃响了。妻子迅速裹上一条毛巾跑下楼。她打开门,发现是邻居鲍勃。

她还没来得及开口,鲍勃就说:“我给你800美元,你把毛巾放下。”

女人思考片刻,放下了毛巾,赤身站在他面前。鲍勃递给她800美元便离开了。她重新裹好毛巾,回到楼上。

她的丈夫还在浴室里,问道:“是谁啊?”

“是邻居鲍勃。”她回答。

“太好了!”丈夫说,“他有没有提欠我的那800美元?”
