A man was relaxing quietly in his favorite chair at the country club. He was enjoying a peaceful moment after a long day, perhaps sipping a drink or simply watching the world go by. The comfortable silence was broken by the sound of a phone ringing nearby. It was a cheerful, familiar ringtone that seemed to be coming from an empty seat next to him. He looked around but no one else seemed to notice or claim the device.
After a few rings, he decided to answer it himself. He picked up the phone and said a simple hello. A woman’s voice immediately responded with a cheerful greeting, calling him honey and asking if he was at the club. He confirmed that he was, playing along with the mistaken identity. The woman then launched into her reason for calling, which was to ask about buying a stunning mink coat she had found at the mall.
She said the price was only fifteen hundred dollars and asked for his permission to buy it. The man, playing his part perfectly, agreed that she should get it if she liked it that much. The woman was thrilled but she was just getting started with her requests. She then mentioned visiting a car dealership and seeing the new Mercedes models that had just arrived.
She explained that she had found one she really liked and had already discussed a great deal with the salesman. She mentioned trading in last year’s BMW and asked about this new sixty thousand dollar car. The man again agreed but told her to make sure it had all the options for that price. The woman was delighted and then moved on to her biggest question.
She told him not to panic before explaining she had found that beautiful beachfront house they had loved last year. She described the pool, the English garden, and the private parkland on a full acre. She said the price was four hundred and fifty thousand but that it was a steal and they had enough in the bank. The man negotiated slightly, suggesting she offer four hundred and twenty thousand to see if they would accept.
The woman was overjoyed and told him he was the best before saying she loved him. The man calmly replied that he loved her too and then ended the call. The entire room had been listening quietly to his side of this incredible conversation. He slowly closed the phone and held it up high for everyone to see. Then he asked the entire lounge if anyone knew whose phone this was, revealing the brilliant punchline.
