Smart old man - The Firearms Forum

Nighthawk · 12-03-2007, 06:46 PM

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. The

Old man said, "No, I'd like to see something more 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, the jeweler phoned the old man. "There's no money in

That account."

"I know," said the old man, "But let me tell you about my weekend!

If she (wife) happens to beat me to "the other side" (unlikely)
I intend to use this, as OFTEN as possible.

He will know me so well, of course I will tip the jewelry store owner.
