Hello? Can you help find a lost phone?
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 $1,500.00.”
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 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 u too…”
With an air of satisfaction, the husband hangs up the phone. He turns around and holds it up for all to see, asking, “Does anyone know whose phone this is?”Half the club, still in shock from the lavish shopping spree they’d just overheard, bursts into laughter. And that, my friends, is how the man at the club unexpectedly became a knight in shining armor… with someone else’s credit card!
Mary’s Insight:
Sometimes life throws the most unexpected curveballs. And sometimes, it’s someone else’s phone, leading to a comedy of errors. But who can resist the thrill of hearing about extravagant purchases made in minutes, all thanks to a little temporary mix-up? Just remember, folks, the next time your spouse calls—make sure it’s your phone they’re dialing!
