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 stopped by 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, beach front property."
H - "How much are they asking?"
W - "Only $450,000 -- 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 $420,000. OK?"
W - "OK, sweetie...Thanks! I'll see you later!! I love you!!!"
H - "Bye...I love you too..."
The man hangs up & closes the phone's flap.
The other men are looking at him in astonishment and derision. The man
raises his hand while holding the phone and asks "Does anyone know who
this phone belongs to?"
