A man was relaxing at a crowded country club bar when a mobile phone sitting on the counter began to ring loudly. He picked it up, pressed answer, and put it to his ear.
“Hello?” he said.
A woman’s voice cheered on the other end, “Honey, it’s me! Are you still at the club?”
“Yes, I am,” he replied calmly.
“Wonderful! I’m at the mall right now and I just spotted the most stunning mink coat. It’s absolutely gorgeous and it’s only $1,500! Can I please get it?”
The man didn’t hesitate. “Well, if you love it that much, go ahead and buy it, dear.”
“Oh, thank you!” the woman squealed. “Also, since I’m already out, I stopped by the dealership and saw the latest Mercedes models. There’s a beautiful one for just $90,000. Can we finally trade in last year’s BMW?”
“Sure,” the man smiled. “But for that kind of price, make sure it comes fully loaded with all the premium options.”
“You are the absolute best husband ever!” she gasped. “Oh, and one last thing… I just checked our savings account and saw that the beachfront mansion we looked at last year is back on the market. They are only asking $450,000!”
“Go ahead and make an offer,” the man said smoothly. “But tell the real estate agent we’ll only give them $420,000, okay?”
“Deal! I love you so much, sweetie! See you tonight!”
“Love you too, bye.”
The man hung up the phone, set it back down on the bar counter, turned around to face the entire crowded room, and announced:
“Hey, does anyone know whose phone this is?”
