The old man
An older, white haired man walked into a
jewelry store one Friday evening with a
beautiful young lady 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 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, the jeweler phoned the old man.
'There's no money in that account.'
'I know,' said the old man,
'But let me tell you about my weekend!'
