Husband: “Hello?”

Wife: “Honey, it’s me. Are you at the club?”

Husband: “Yes.”

Wife: “Great! I’m at the mall two blocks away. I just saw a beautiful mink coat. It’s absolutely gorgeous! Can I buy it?”

Husband: “What’s the price?”

Wife: “Only $1,500.”

Husband: “Well, OK. Go ahead and get it if you like it that much.”

Wife: “Ahhh, and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the 2001 models. I found one I really liked. The salesman gave me a good price, and since we need to exchange the BMW we bought last year…”

Husband: “What price did he quote you?”

Wife: “Only $60,000…”

Husband: “OK, but for that price, I want it with all the options.”

Wife: “Great! But there’s something else before we hang up…”

Husband: “What?”

Wife: “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 looked at last year. It’s on sale!

Remember? The one with a pool, English garden, an acre of park area, right by the beach.”

Husband: “How much are they asking?”

Wife: “Only $450,000 – a magnificent price… And I see we have enough in the bank to cover it…”

Husband: “Well, then go ahead and buy it, but offer $420,000. OK?”

Wife: “OK, sweetie… Thanks! I’ll see you later! I love you!!!”

Husband: “Bye… I love you too…”

The man hangs up, closes the phone’s flap, raises his hand holding the phone, and asks everyone present:

“Does anyone know who this phone belongs to?”
