There are several men sitting around in the locker
room of a golf club after a round, showering and getting changed for
the 19th hole.
Suddenly, a mobile phone on one of the benches
rings. One of the men picks it up, and the following
conversation ensues:
(H - Husband, W - Wife)
H - "Hello?"
W - "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
H - "Yes."
W - "Great! I am at the mall two blocks from where
you are. I just saw a beautiful leather coat. It's
absolutely gorgeous!! Can I buy it?"
H - "What's the price?"
W - "Only $1,000."
H - "Well, OK, go ahead and get it, if you like it
that much..."
W - "Ahhh, and I also stopped by the Mercedes
dealership and saw the 2002 models. I saw one I
really liked. I spoke with the salesman, and he
gave me a really good price...and since we need to
exchange the BMW that we bought last year..."
H - "What price did he quote you?"
W - "Only $60,000..."
H - "OK, but for that price I want it with all the
options."
W - "Great! But before we hang up, something
else..."
H - "What?"
W - "It might look like a lot, but I was
reconciling your
bank account and..I visited with the real estate
agent this morning and saw the house we had looked
at last year. It's for sale!! Remember? The one with
a pool, English garden, acre of park area."
H - "How much are they asking?"
W - "Only $850,000 - a magnificent price...and I see
that we have that much in the bank to cover..."
H - "Well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid
up to $820,000.OK?"
W - "OK, sweetie...Thanks! I'll see you later!! I
love you!!!"
H - "Bye...I love you too..."
The man hangs up and closes the phone's flap. The
other men are looking at him in astonishment and
derision. The husband raises his hand while
holding the phone and asks, "Does anyone know who
this phone belongs to?"
