An older, white-haired man walked into a
jewelry store this past Friday evening with a beautiful, much younger,
gal at his side.
He told the jeweler he was looking for a
special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock
and brought out a $5,000 ring.
The old man said, 'No, I'd like to see
something more special.'
At that statement, the jeweler went to
his special stock and brought another ring over. 'Here's a stunning
ring at only $40,000 the jeweler said. The lady's eyes sparkled and
her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this
said, 'We'll take it.'
The jeweler asked how payment would be
made and the old man stated, 'by cheque. I know you need to make sure
my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank
Monday morning to verify the funds and I'll pick the ring up Monday
afternoon.'
Monday morning, the jeweler angrily
phoned the old man and said, 'There's hardly any money in that
account.'
'I know,' said the old man, 'but let me
tell you about my great weekend!'
