When the phone rang, he answered casually, not knowing he was about to become the star of the strangest conversation his friends had ever overheard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHello?\u201d
\u201cHoney, it\u2019s me. Are you at the club?\u201d
\u201cYes,\u201d he replied, glancing around as his buddies leaned in with curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGreat! I\u2019m at the mall two blocks away. I just saw a gorgeous mink coat. It\u2019s absolutely stunning. Can I buy it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He hesitated. \u201cWhat\u2019s the price?\u201d
\u201cOnly $1,500,\u201d she said sweetly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He shrugged. \u201cWell\u2026 OK. If you like it that much, get it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His friends looked at him wide-eyed \u2014 but the call wasn\u2019t over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh! And I also stopped by the Lexus dealership,\u201d she continued. \u201cRemember the car I wanted? They dropped the price. It\u2019s only $72,000 now. Can I take it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He cleared his throat. \u201cIf it\u2019s a good price\u2026 sure. Go ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His friends nearly fell out of their chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd one more thing,\u201d she added. \u201cThe house we loved \u2014 the one for $950,000? The seller agreed to $900,000. Should we put the deposit down today?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He gulped, surrounded by shocked faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you really love it,\u201d he said bravely, \u201cgo ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you, honey! You\u2019re the best! Bye!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He hung up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The room went silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then he looked around at the stunned men and said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoes anyone know whose phone this is?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The entire club BURST into laughter \u2014 and the mystery phone\u2019s owner never confessed.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When the phone rang, he answered casually, not knowing he was about to become the star of the strangest conversation his friends had ever overheard. \u201cHello?\u201d\u201cHoney, it\u2019s… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3087,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/storyzone24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/storyzone24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/storyzone24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyzone24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyzone24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/storyzone24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyzone24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/storyzone24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyzone24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storyzone24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
