management lesson

A man is getting into the shower as his wife is finishing hers. The doorbell rings and the wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the neighbour. Bob says : "I'll give you $500 to drop that towel". After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. Bob hands her $500 and leaves. The woman wraps back up her towel and goes upstairs. Her husband asks, "who was that ?" "It was Bob the neighbour", she replies. "Great!", the husband says, "Did he say anything about the $500 he owes me ?"
