When we are younger, we try our best to impress young women in our lives. Of course, at the time, we have our youth to lean on and the chances that we will meet someone else are fairly good. As we get older, however, there are some differences that need to be considered. We might still have the opportunity to date a beautiful young woman but our odds of finding another are slim. Perhaps that is why the man in this joke hits home for many of us. He used his wisdom to hatch a plan that would give him what he wanted.
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,”.
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!”
