A wife calls her husband while he’s at the club, asking whether she can buy a mink coat she found for $1,500. Wanting to seem generous, he tells her to go ahead if she really loves it. She then casually mentions she also visited a Mercedes dealership and found a 2024 model she wants for $90,000. Trying to stay consistent, he agrees—so long as it comes with all the options.
Before he can relax, she brings up one more “small thing.” She says the beachfront house they looked at last year is suddenly back on the market for $450,000. She insists it’s a great deal and that the bank account can cover it. The husband, keeping his cool, says she can buy it but should try offering $420,000 instead.
The wife gushes with gratitude, tells him she loves him, and hangs up. Everything seems perfectly handled—until the husband lowers the phone, looks around the club, and lifts his hand hesitantly.
“Does anyone know who this phone belongs to?” he asks, realizing he just approved hundreds of thousands of dollars in purchases… on someone else’s phone.
The room erupts in laughter, proving that sometimes generosity is easy—when it’s on the wrong account.
