Two neighbours fought regularly. Once, the one residing on the 17th floor invited the neighbour who lived on the first floor to his house. The latter felt very happy and decided to go to make peace with his neighbour by accepting his invitation. The lift was out of order that day. He climbed 170 stairs to reach the 17th floor. On the door was written: “I fooled you.” Angrily the neighbour wrote back: “I have not yet come.”

Second man: Give me a few hints, please.
