There age several men in the locker¹ room of a private club after exercising. Suddenly a call phone that was on one of the benches rings. A man picks it up and the following conversation ensues:

 

"Hello?" "Honey, It's me. Are you at the club?" "Yes." "Great! I am at the mall 2 blocks from where you are. I saw a beautiful mink² coat... It is absolutely gorgeous!! Can I buy it?" "What's the price?" "Only $150,000." "Well, OK, go ahead and get it, if you like it that much..."

 

"Ahhh and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership³ and saw the 2004 models. I saw one I really liked. I spoke⁴ with the salesman and he gave me a really good price... and since we need to exchange the BMW that we bought last year..." "What price did he quote you?" "Only $60, 000..."

 

"OK, but for that price I want it with all the options." "Great! Before we hang up, something else..." "What?" "It might look like a lot, but I was reconciling your bank account and...I stopped by the real estate agent this morning and I 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..."

 

"How much are they asking?" "Only $450,000... a magnificent price, and I see that we have that much in the bank to cover..." "Well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid $420, 000. OK?" "OK, sweetie...Thanks! I'll see you later!! I love you!!!" "Bye...I do 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?"

 

在一家私人俱乐部的更衣室中，有几个刚刚锻炼完的男人。忽然，一张长椅上的手机响了。一个男人拿了起来，于是有了下面这段对话：

 

“喂？”“亲爱的，是我。你在俱乐部吗？”“是啊。”“好极了！我在离你两个街区远的商店里。我看上了一件非常漂亮的貂皮外套……绝对完美！！我可以买吗？”“多少钱？”“才1，500美圆。”“好的，可以，买吧，只要你喜欢……”

 

“对了，在梅塞德斯代理商那里，我还看到了几款2004年的车型。我看上了其中一款。我问那位销售人员，他给了我一个超低价……既然我们想要换掉去年的那辆宝马……”“他报价多少？”“才6万美圆……”

 

“好的，但是按照这个价格，我要所有的可选配件。”“太棒了！在挂电话之前，还有一件事……”“什么事？”“这看起来要一大笔钱，我正在算你的银行账目，还有……我在房产代理商那里待了一会儿，看见了我们去年看过的那座别墅。正在减价呢！！还记得吗？有游泳池、英式花园、大区域的停车场、海滨地产……”

 

“他们出价多少？”“才45万美圆……多便宜的价格啊，而且我看到我们的银行里还有可以支付的钱……”“好的，那就去把它买下来吧，但是只出价42万美圆，好吗?”“好的，亲爱的……谢谢你！一会儿见！！我爱你！！！”“再见……我也爱你……”

 

男人挂断电话，合上手机盖，举起握着手机的手，问在场的人：“哪位知道这部手机是谁的？”
