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 old man.
>>>"There's no money in that account."
>>>
>>>"I know", said the old man, "but can you imagine the weekend I had?".
