Chalk one up for the old dude
>>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?"
