$500 to Drop Your Towel

 

A woman is just getting out of the shower when the doorbell rings. Her husband, heading to the shower himself, asks her to see who's at the door, so she wraps herself up in a towel and runs downstairs.

When she opens the door, there stands her next-door neighbor, Rob. Before she can say a word, Rob says, "I'll give you $500 to drop that towel you have on."

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel.   He looks for a few seconds, hands her $500, and leaves with a big smile on his face.

Excited about her earnings, the woman puts the towel back on and runs upstairs. Her husband yells out from the shower, "Who was that?" "It was Rob from next door," she replies.

"Great," the husband says. "Did he say anything about the $500 dollars he owes me?"

More Couples Humor

On a whim, a man decided to get his wife a dozen roses and surprise her after work. 

The minute he opened the door, his wife took one look at the flowers in his hand and started screaming, "This is the worst day that I have EVER had! The kids have been terrible. They got in a food fight, the washing machine broke and flooded the basement, I burned dinner, the dog chewed up my best pair of shoes...AND NOW YOU'VE GOT THE NERVE TO COME HOME DRUNK!"

Very Old Age

At his 103rd birthday party, my grandfather was asked if he planned to be around for his 104th. 

"I certainly do," he replied. "Statistics show that very few people die between the ages of 103 and 104."

A Married Couple

Tom was in his usual place in the morning sitting at the table, reading the paper after breakfast. He came across an article about a beautiful actress that was about to marry a football player who was known primarily for his lack of IQ and common knowledge. 

He turned to his wife Linda, with a look of question on his face. 

"I'll never understand why the biggest shmucks get the most attractive wives." 

His wife replies, "Why, thank you, dear!"

Changing Times

A big mouth college student challenged a senior citizen saying it was impossible for their generation to understand his world. "You grew up in a different world," the student said. 

"Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers, the internet..." 

Taking advantage of a pause in the student's litany, the senior said, 

"You're right sonny . We didn't have those things when we were young... so we invented them!"
