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 mink coat. It’s absolutely gorgeous! Can I buy it?”

H: “What’s the price?”

W: “Only $1,500.”

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 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…”

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 on sale! Remember?

The one with a pool, English garden, an acre of park area, beachfront 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 $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, raises his hand while holding the phone, and asks all those present: “Does anyone know who this phone belongs to?”
