Re: New Chuckle of the Day
The Ring!
An older, white-haired gentleman came into a jewelry store one Friday evening, with a beautiful young woman at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a very special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler unlocked a display case and showed them a lovely ring with a $5,000 price tag. The old man said, "No, I'd like to see something truly special." The jeweler paused a moment, then opened a vault, and brought out another ring. "Now that is exquisite," said the gentleman. The jeweler leaned toward him and said in a low voice, "$40,000". The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man smiled and said, "We'll take it."
The jeweler asked how payment would be made, and the white-haired man said, "By check. And of course I understand that you'll need to make sure the check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank first thing Monday to verify the funds. I'll pick up the ring Monday afternoon."
Monday morning, the jeweler phoned the old man. "There's no money in that account," he said angrily. "I know," said the old man, "but let me tell you about my weekend!"
