* Vincent Bevins (@Vinncent): As a general rule I don’t like call-outs of the “the silence from these people is deafening” type because no one should be criticized for not posting tweets. Maybe they got a hobby or made a friend. I mean I know they didn’t but it is important to believe this is possible.

* Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais): Comedy should not discriminate. That’s why I look down on everyone equally.

Laugh lines The phone call

Several men are in the locker room of a private club after exercising. Suddenly a cell phone on one of the benches rings. A man picks it up and the following conversation ensues:

“Hello?”

“Honey, It’s me.”

“Sugar!”

“Are you at the club?”

“Yes.”

“Great! I’m at the mall two blocks from where you are. I saw a beautiful mink coat. It is absolutely gorgeous! Can I buy it?”

“What’s the price?”

“Only $1,500.”

“Well, okay, go ahead and get it if you like it that much.”

“Ahhh, and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the 2024 models. I saw one I really liked. I spoke with the salesman and he gave me a really good price ... and since we need to exchange the BMW that we bought last year...”

“What price did he quote you?”

“Only $60,000!”

“Okay, but for that price I want it with all the options.”

“Great! Before we hang up, something else...”

“What?”

“It might seem like a lot, but I was reconciling your bank account and ... well, I stopped by to see the real estate agent this morning and I saw the house we had looked at last year. It’s on sale! Remember? The one with a pool, English garden, acre of park area, beachfront property...”

“How much are they asking?”

“Only $650,000... a magnificent price, and I see that we have that much in the bank to cover...”

“Well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid $620,000, ok?”

“Okay, sweetie. Thanks! I’ll see you later!! I love you!!!”

“Bye.”

The man hangs up, looks around, and asks aloud, “Does anyone know whose phone this is?”
