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 the 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 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?"

Ha! what a great idea.
