When I answered the knock and opened my apartment door last night, the girl next door was standing all nude with a cup and asked if she could borrow a cup of sugar." "What did you do, George?" "I was so surprised, I just gave her the cup of sugar without saying anything.
A few minutes later, she knocked on the door again, and again she's all nude, and asked for a little salt." "What did you do, George?" "I gave the salt to her, and cursed myself for not doing anything. But then I prepared myself…stripped naked and sat down on a chair near the door. In a few minutes, there was a knock. I flung the door open." "What happened, George?" "It was a nun collecting charity for an orphanage."
"간밤에 노크 소리가 나서 아파트문을 열었더니 옆집 여자가 알몸으로 서있더군. 컵을 들고. 설탕을 꿔줄 수 없는냐는 거야." "그래 어떻게 했어?" "난 어찌나 놀랐던지 아무 소리 않고 설탕컵을 건네 줬지. 몇분 후 노크 소리에 보니 그 여자가 다시 알몸으로 나타나서는 소금을 달라는 거야."
"그래서?" "소금을 줘서 그대로 보내버렸으니 나 자신을 저주했을 밖에. 그리고는 나도 준비태세를 갖췄지…알몸으로 문가 의자에 앉아서 말야. 몇분 후 노크 소리가 나기에 문을 활짝 열었어." "그랬더니?" "(이번엔) 수녀가 서 있었어. 고아들 자선사업을 하고 있는 중이라더군."
