One Friday evening, an elderly gentleman with silver hair strolled into a jewelry shop, his arm linked with a stunning young woman.
“I’m looking for a very special ring for my girlfriend,” he told the jeweler with a confident smile.
The jeweler showed him a beautiful ring priced at $5,000.
But the man shook his head. “No, I want something far more impressive.”
So, the jeweler went to the back and returned with a sparkling ring from the safe—a true showstopper, worth $40,000.
The young woman’s face lit up with excitement, and she could barely hide her joy.
“This is perfect,” the man said. “We’ll take it.”
The jeweler asked how he’d like to pay.
“I’ll write you a check right now,” the man replied. “I know you’ll want to verify it first, so give the bank a call on Monday. I’ll come back then to collect the ring.”
Monday rolled around, and the jeweler made the call.
The bank told him what he feared: the account had no money.
Furious, the jeweler called the old man.
“I just spoke to the bank. Your check bounced!”
The old man chuckled. “I know, I know… but can I just say, what a weekend!”
