Mobiles!

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A mobile phone on a bench rings and a man answers it with the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
Golfer: "Hello"
Woman: "Hi Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
Golfer: "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?"
Golfer: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."
Woman: "I also stopped by the Porsche dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked."
Golfer: "How much?"
Woman: "£90,000." 
Golfer: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
Woman: "Great! Oh, and one more thing... I was just talking to Jane and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking £980,000 for it."
Golfer: "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."
Golfer: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!"
Golfer: "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 who's phone this is?"

Mobiles

After a busy day I settled down on the train to Victoria when the guy sitting near me got out his mobile "Hi darling it's Peter, I'm on the train - yes, I know it's the 6.30 not the 4.30 but I had a long meeting - no, not with that floozie from the typing pool, with the boss no darling you're the only one in my life - yes, I'm sure, cross my heart" etc., etc. This was still going on at Croydon , when the young woman opposite, driven beyond endurance, yelled at the top of her voice.

"Peter, turn that bloody phone off and come back to bed!"
