Several men are in the locker room of a golf club, showering, getting
changed for the 19th hole. When a cell phone on a bench rings, a man picks
it up, engages the handsfree speaker function, and begins a conversation
(M=man, W=wife):
M: "Hello?"
W: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
M: "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?"
M: "What's the price?"
W: "Only $1,000."
M: "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 2001
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..."
M: "What price did he quote you?"
W: "Only $60,000."
M: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
W: "Great! But before we hang up, something else..."
M: "What?"
W: " I stopped by the real estate agent this morning and saw the house we
looked at last year. It's for sale! Remember? The one with a pool, English
Garden, acre of park area, beachfront property."
M: "How much are they asking?"
W: "Only $450,000 - a magnificent price. It may seem like a lot, but I was
reconciling your bank account...and I see that we have enough in the bank to
cover the down."
M: "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!!!"
M: "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 man holds up the phone and asks
"Anyone know who this phone belongs to?"
What's it all about?
