Several men are in the changing room of
Kiambu golf club. A mobile phone on a bench
rings and a man engages the hands free
speaker-function and began to talk. Everyone
else in the room stops to listen.
MAN: “Hello”
WOMAN: “Darling, it’s me. Are you at the
club?”
MAN: “Yes”
WOMAN: “I am at the shopping mall at UNEP
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 2013 model. I
saw
one I really liked.”
MAN: “How much?”
WOMAN: $100,000″
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 $1 million”. It’s at Muthaiga,
great gardens, overlooking the dense Karura
forest.
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 $100, 000. It really is
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
changing room are staring at him in
astonishment, mouths agape…
He smiles and asks: “Does anyone know the
owner of this phone???”
