A traveler came into a hotel late at night and asked for a room. He was told there was only one vacant roam. And this was next to the room of a very nervous man. He was therefore cautioned against making any noise.The traveler agreed. While undressing, however, he forgot the admonition and tossed one shoe on the floor with a loud thud. Then, suddenly, remembering his promise, he gently set down the other one. About three hours later there was a thump on the wall and his neighbor called in anxiously: 'men are you going to drop the second shoe?"
