A balding, elderly white haired man from Sherman Oaks, California walked into a jewelry store in a local mall on a Friday evening with a beautiful, much younger gal at his side.
He told the jeweler he was looking for a very special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $6,000 ring.
The man said, "No, I'd like to see something even more special...money is no object"
At that statement, the jeweler hiding a smile went back to his special stock and brought another ring to show the man and his girl friend.
"Here's a stunning ring reduced to only $50,000...it's worth much more" the jeweler said.
The 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 then I'll be back to pick up the ring that afternoon."
On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said "There was only $25 in your account."
"Yeah, I know", said the old man, "but let me tell you about MY GREAT WEEKEND!"
