Don't mess with Old Men!

[Ronen]

An older, white haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening
> with a beautiful young 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 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 my check is good, so I'll
>write it now and you can call the bank 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 that," said the old man, "but can you just imagine
>the weekend I've had?"
>
> Don't mess with Old Men!
