Posted: Fri Jun 25, 2004 2:03 pm
A white-haired old man walked into a jewelry store on a Friday, with a
>beautiful young lady at his side.
>
>"I'm looking for a special ring for my girlfriend," he said.
>
>Our jeweler looked through our stock and took out an outstanding ring
>priced at $5,000.
>
>"I don't think you understand-I want something very unique," the man
>said.
>
>At that, our now very excited jeweler went and fetched our special stock
>from the safe. "Here's one stunning ring at $40,000."
>
>The girls eyes sparkled, and the man said that he would take it.
>
>"How are you paying?" asked our jeweler.
>
>"I'll pay by check; but of course the bank will want to make sure that
>everything is in order, so I'll write a check and you can phone the bank
>tomorrow, and then I'll fetch the ring on Monday."
>
>Monday morning, our very disappointed jeweler phoned the man. "You lied,
>there's no money in that account."
>
>"I know, sorry, but can you imagine what a FANTASTIC weekend I had?"
