A woman was getting out of the shower when she heard the doorbell ring. Her husband was going to shower, so she quickly grabbed a towel, wrapped it around herself, and descended the stairs to open the door.
She was greeted by Bob, the neighbor who apparently missed the memo on appropriate visiting hours. Before she could ask what brought him to her doorstep, he said something that sounded too good to be true.
“I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.”
Now, the quick-thinking woman did some rapid mental math. On the one hand, dignity. On the other, $800.
In no time, the towel hit the floor, and the woman stood in front of Bob without anything on.
Bob, true to his word (and probably wondering if he should’ve started the bidding lower), handed over the cash and left.
The woman closed the door, picked up the towel, and wrapped it around herself again before returning to her room.

Back upstairs, her husband, blissfully unaware of the impromptu peep show, asked about the visitor.
“Who was that?”
“It was Bob, the next-door neighbor.”
“Great!” he said. “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Or, in simpler terms: Always know the full details of a deal before you strip down to the essentials!
