Heh, didn't actually answer door in towel.

Friends got used to coming over w/out knocking, I hadn't closed bathroom door cuz I was only one home and wuz showering (glass shower door). And, you passed the bathroom as you went from the entry way to the living room.

Anyhoo, Navy buddies came over with a few girlfriends. I was in excellent shape at the time from working out and Naval Rescue Swimming so I didn't mind flaunting a little, but gee whiz!! Having a door full of people watch you for a minute before saying Hi and none of them with the decency to shut the bathroom door :)

It was a good laugh though. And I got a date out of the episode! :D

Sometimes if I am rushing, but the towels covers everything I don't want on public display. Is yours a very small towel? :D

If I were to answer the door half naked my would-be guest would undoubtedly turn into a pillar of salt.

Bloody earthquake wouldn't get me out of the shower. If you come at a bad time, that's your problem!

To be quite honest, if it was all women friends and I knew them well enough, I'd walk around naked. If it were male friends, it would depend on which ones (that I'd wear the towel vs. clothes/even close male friends don't get the naked door trick).

Ferengi..

I would never answer the door in a towel to you for fear that you'd try to steal my towel to auction on ebay ! :)

Corporate Lesson 3

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.

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 risk in time with your stakeholders, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable Exposure!

Yes. It was weird. They were two of my buddies who I have told to wait and they refused and made a lot of noise. I have told them that if they will not be quiet I will open the door without the towel. They became a bit quiter but still demanded I open the door. So I did. End of story.
