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 the 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 2005 
models. I saw one I really liked."

MAN: "How much?"

WOMAN: "$90,000."

MAN: "OK, but for that price, I want it with all the options."

WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing .....the house I wanted last year 
is back on the market. They're asking $950,000."

MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer of $900,000. They will 
probably take it. If not, we can go the extra 50 thousand. It is really 
a pretty good price."

WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!!"

MAN: "Bye! I love you, too."

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in 
astonishment, mouths agape.....

Then he smiles and asks: "Anyone know who this phone belongs to?"

 Stompin' out rhythms
