The manager girlfriend

During the Wimbledon Cup, the TV camera zoomed in on the girlfriend of one of the tennis players, Federer. The commentator (who was British) introduced her as the gf of Federer who was also Federer’s agent AND manager. He ended off by saying “As such, she manages his pennies.”

There was nothing wrong with this statement. After all, in the UK, currency is measured in pounds and pennies. But his co-host, who was American, must have been thinking of something else when he heard the word ‘pennies’, for I heard a soft laugh before they quickly changed topic.
