The Ring

An older, white haired gentleman (kinda like me but with hair) walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening with a beautiful young voluptuous girl 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 gentleman 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 gentleman seeing this said, “We’ll take it.”

The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the old gentleman 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.”

Monday morning, the jeweler phoned the old man. “There’s no money in that account.”

“Oh, I know,” said the old man, “but what a weekend!”

Don’t mess with Old People.
