Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker-function and begins to talk.  Everyone else in he room stops to listen.

MAN:	"Hello"
WOMAN:	"Honey, it's me.  Are you at the club?"
MAN:	"Yes"
WOMAN:	"I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat.  It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"
MAN:	"Sure ... go ahead if you like it that much."
WOMAN:	"I also stopped by , the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2011 models I saw one I really liked."
MAN:	"How much?"
WOMAN:	"$85,000"
MAN:	"OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
WOMAN:	"Great! Oh, and one more thing .... The house we wanted last year is back on the market.  They're asking $950,000."
MAN:	"Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer $ 900,000."
WOMAN:	"OK. I'll see you later! I love you!"
MAN:	"Bye, I love you, too."

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment.  Then he asks: " Anyone know who this phone belongs to?"
