Old Timers Are Smart

A white haired, old man walked into a jeweler's shop late one Friday, with a beautiful young lady on his side.  

"I'm looking for a special ring for my girlfriend" he said.  

The jeweler looks through his stock, and takes out an outstanding ring priced at $5,000.  

"I don't think you understand ... I want something very unique," he said.  

At that, the jeweler went and fetched his special stock from the safe. "Here's one stunning ring at $40,000."  

The girls' eyes sparkled, and the man said that he would take it.  

"How are you paying?"  

"I'll pay by check, but of course you would want to make sure that everything is in order, so I'll write a check and you can phone the bank tomorrow, then I'll fetch the ring on Monday".  

Monday morning a very pissed off jeweler phones the man. " You bastard, you lied, there's no money in that account"  

"I know, but can you imagine what a fantastic weekend I had?"  

...Gotta' watch those old guys with white hair...
