A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her
shower when the doorbell rings. After a few seconds of arguing over which
one should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps
herself up in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says,"I'll give you 800 dollars to drop that
towel that you have on."
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in
front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her 800 dollars and leaves. Confused, but
excited about her good fortune, the woman wraps back up in the towel and
goes back upstairs to disclose to her husband.
When she gets back to the bathroom, her husband asks from the shower "Who
was that?"
It was Bob the next door neighbour," she replies.
"Great," the husband says, "did he say anything about the 800 dollars he
owes me?"
Moral of the story :
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and exposure on
time with your stakeholders, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable
exposure !
