An older, white haired man walked into a jewelry store one
Friday
evening with a beautiful young 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 and showed it to him.
The old man said, "I don't think you understand, I want something very
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 young 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 check. " I
know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and
you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick the ring
up Monday afternoon," he said. Monday morning, a very teed-off jeweler
phoned the ol! d man. "There's no money in that account." "I know", said
the old man, "but damn, what a weekend I had?"
