Smart old man

[Gytha D]

An elderly gentleman walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening
with a beautiful young lass at his side. He told the jeweller 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 jeweller went to his special stock and brought another ring over. "Here's a stunning ring at only £45,000", the jeweller 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 jeweller 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 we`ll pick the ring up Monday afternoon," he said.

Monday morning, a very teed-off jeweller 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?!!"
