A group of men are sitting around in the changing room of a private health club after working out in the gym.
Suddenly, a cell phone on one of the benches rings.
A man walks over, picks it up, and the following conversation ensues:
“Hello?”
“Honey, it’s me. Are you at the club?”
“Yes.”
“Great! I am at the mall two blocks from where you are. I just saw a beautiful mink coat. It’s absolutely gorgeous!! Can I buy it?”
“What’s the price?”
“Only $1,500.00.”
“Well, OK, go ahead and get it, if you like it that much … ”
“Ahhh, and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the 2019 models. I saw one I really liked. I spoke with the salesman, and he gave me a really good price. Since we need to exchange the BMW that we bought last year.”
“What price did he quote you?”
“Only $60,000.”
“OK, but for that price I want it with all the options.”
“Great! But before we hang up, something else.”
“What?”
“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 on sale!! Remember? The one with a pool, English Garden, acre of park area, beachfront property.”
“How much are they asking?”
“Only $1,950,000. It’s a magnificent price, and I see that we have that much in the bank to cover it.”
“Well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid $1,500,000. OK?”
“OK, sweetie … Thanks! I’ll see you later!! I love you!!!”
“Bye … I do too … ”
The man hangs up, closes the phone’s flap, and raises his hand and asks all those present, “Okay… who’s phone is this?”
