Sometimes you don’t need medicine — you just need a really good joke.
Picture this: A man is relaxing in a country club lounge when a cellphone rings. He answers it without even checking whose it is.
“H – ‘Hello?’
W – ‘Honey, it’s me. Are you at the club?’
H – ‘Yes.’”
So far, so normal.
His “wife” says she’s at the mall and found a gorgeous mink coat.
“W – ‘Only $1,500.’
H – ‘Well, OK, go ahead and get it, if you like it that much…’”
Easy approval. No hesitation.
Then she casually mentions stopping by the Mercedes dealership.
“H – ‘What price did he quote you?’
W – ‘Just $60,000.’
H – ‘Alright, but for that price, make sure it has all the options.’”
Still calm. Still generous.
Now she goes for the grand finale — that beachfront house they loved last year.
“W – ‘$450,000.’
H – ‘Well…alright then. Just offer $420,000. See if they’ll take it.’
W – ‘You’re the best! I love you!’
H – ‘Love you too…’”
Click.
The room is silent.
The man slowly lowers the phone, looks around the lounge, raises it in the air and says:
“Does anyone know whose phone this is?”
That’s it. That’s the joke.
The fun is in the build-up — coat, car, house — each request bigger than the last. You’re waiting for him to explode… but instead, he plays along like a champion. And then — boom — the twist.
If you liked that one, here are a few quick classics:
A man sees a sign: “Talking Dog for Sale.”
The dog claims he worked for the CIA.
The owner sells him for ten dollars.
“Why so cheap?”
“Because that dog is a liar.”
An elderly wife says, “I’m going upstairs to take a bath.”
Her husband goes up first. She finds him staring into the closet.
“What are you doing?”
“I forgot if I was getting dressed or taking a bath.”
And two retirees are chatting:
“My memory is so bad I changed my password to ‘incorrect.’ That way the computer reminds me.”
Clean jokes. Simple setups. Big punchlines.
Proof that sometimes the funniest thing you can say is just:
“Does anyone know whose phone this is?”
