A husband, enjoying his time at the club, receives a call from his wife who’s out shopping nearby. She enthusiastically describes a mink coat and a Mercedes she wants to buy. He consents to both. Just as he agrees, she drops another bombshell—a house they once considered is now on sale for $450,000. He advises her to bid lower, but she promises to manage. Amused, he ends the call, only to realize he doesn’t know whose phone he’s been using.
The humorous tale underscores the importance of communication in relationships, as the husband’s unwitting approvals of extravagant purchases lead to a comedic realization.
