NT - Perfect Husband

[Ray in Ohio]

The Perfect Husband

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cellular 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: "Hi Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"

MAN: "Yes."

WOMAN: "I'm at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's

Only $2,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"

MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."

WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new 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. I was just talking to Janie and

Found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're

Asking $980,000 for it."

MAN: "Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000. They'll probably

Take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it's what you really

Want."

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 wide open.

He turns and asks, "Anyone know whose phone this is?"

The punch line really got me. I don't see many this good.

That's funny because I had to stop by the cellphone place on Monday to find out how to turn the speakerphone on. I had tried everything, and it was really simple.

I hear you, Marilyn. I had to join a user group and go online to find out. It wasn't any where in the user manual and I guess I'm too old to just 'know' how to do those things. The silent mode was the same issue.

You are right. Nowhere in the user manual did it refer to Loudspeaker, other than to say, "Turn it on!" Not a word on "HOW". I never found the silent, but did find vibrate. It's not like I haven't had a cell phone for, to use Catherine's hilarious phrase, "umpty bazillion" years.

>> America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves <<

That's a bit strong, Marilyn--I mean, it's only a cell phone!

But I'm reassured to learn it doesn't matter if I can't figure out how to turn the dang thing on, because nobody else can figure out how to hear me on the other end anyway.
