Bridge Player: “Hello?”

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

Bridge Player:  “Yes.”

Wife:  “Great! I am at the mall two blocks from where you are. I just saw a beautiful coat. It’s absolutely gorgeous!! Can I buy it?”

Bridge Player: “What’s the price?”

Wife:  “Only $1,500.00.”

Bridge Player: “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 2014 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…”

Bridge Player: “What price did he quote you?”

Wife: “Only $60,000…”

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

Wife: “Great! But before we hang up, something else…”

Bridge Player: “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 had looked at last year. It’s on sale!! Remember? The one with a pool, English Garden, acre of park area, beachfront property.”

Bridge Player: “How much are they asking?”

Wife “Only $1.450,000 – a magnificent price…and I see that we have that much in the bank to cover…”

Bridge Player:  “Well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid $1.320,000. OK?”

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

Bridge Player:  – “Bye…I love u too…”

The man hangs up, closes the phone’s flap, and raises his hand while holding the phone and asks to all those present: “Does anyone know who this phone belongs to?”
