Friday Funnies

People love a good laugh. It energises, beats stress and boosts teamwork. It also makes people more receptive to fresh insights, especially about their emotional health and wellbeing.

Around two years ago I visited a HR and Org. dev seminar in New Zealand and participated at a several short sessions. One of them had the title "You won´t die laughing". It was awesome, simply hilarious!

Since than, I´m getting each Friday a good selection of jokes, and now I wanted to share one of those and also direct you here, of course only, if you want to read some humour:

"Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cellphone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands freespeaker-function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: "Hello"

WOMAN: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"

MAN: "Yes"

WOMAN: "I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $3,000. 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 2006 models. I saw one I really liked"

MAN: "How much?"

WOMAN: "$90,000"

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 $1,550,000"

MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer of $1,500,000. They will probably take it. If not, we can go the extra 50 thousand. If it's really 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 locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths agape...

He smiles and asks: "Anyone know who this phone belongs to?.."
