THE RING
A balding white haired man from Sherman Oaks in California,
walked into a jewellery store in a local mall late on Friday,
with a beautiful much younger 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 man said, "No, I'd like to see something more special."
At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock
and brought out another ring. "Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000
said the jeweler.
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 man said, "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 on Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick up the ring
on Monday afternoon."
On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said,
"There was only $25 in your account."
"I know," said the old man, "But let me tell you about MY GREAT WEEKEND."
