A balding, white haired old man walked into the 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 brought out a $5000 ring. The man said, "No, Id like to see something even more special.
When the jeweler heard that, he brought out another ring and said, "this stunning ring is only $40000. The lady's eyes lit up and her whole body trembled. The old man, seeing this, said, "We'll take it."
When the jeweler asked about payment, the man stated, "By check. I know you'll need to verify that it's good, so I'll write it now, you call the bank Monday morning and we'll be back Monday afternoon to pick it up.
Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said, "There's no money in that account."
I know, I'm sorry, said the old man, But let me tell you about my great weekend.
