Hi Everybody!
An old, 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 cheque. " I 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, a very teed-off jeweler phoned the old man. “There’s
No
money in that account.”
“I know”, said the old man, “but can you imagine the weekend I
had?”
