An older, white-haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday
evening with a beautiful young gal at his side.
He told the jeweller he was looking for a special ring for
his new girlfriend. The jeweller looked through his stock and
brought out a $5,000 ring. The old man said,
'No, I'd like to see some thing more special.'
At that statement, the jeweller went to his special stock and brought
another ring over..
'Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000' the jeweller 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 jeweller asked how payment would be made and the old man
stated,
'by cheque if thats ok. I also know you need to make sure my cheque 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, the jeweller phoned the old man.
'I've been worried about the ring sale Saturday and Sunday.
The bank tells me there's no money in that account.'
'I know,I know ' said the old man,
'But let me tell you about my weekend!'
