A balding, white haired man from Sanctuary Cove in Queensland , walked into a jewellery store on the Gold Coast last Friday evening with a beautiful, much younger, woman at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a really special ring for his new girlfriend.
The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.
The man said, ‘No, No, that’s a mere bauble… I'd like to see something much more special.’
At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. ‘Here's a stunning ring at only $140,000’ the jeweller said. The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, ‘I think we'll take it.’
The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the man stated, ‘By cheque.. But I know you’ll need to make sure my cheque is good, so I'll write it now, you can call the bank on Monday to verify the funds and we'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon.’
On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said ‘There's no money in that account.’
‘I know’, said the old man wearily ‘…but let me tell you all about my fantastic weekend!’
