Last Friday night my Dad walked into a jewelery store with a very attractive young lady and asked to see a real nice necklace. The jewelery store owner, about my dad's age, brought out a necklace marked at $4000.00!
Dad asked, "Got anything nicer?"
The guy brought out a necklace with earrings priced at $25,000.00. Dad looked it over as did his date, he said he'd take it. He asked the jeweler to hold his check and the jewelery till Monday so that he could transfer the funds and then when the bank verified the transfer they would return to pickup the new gift.
Monday, the jeweler called dad and said, "The bank said your account was closed!"
Dad said, "Sorry about that, care to hear about my weekend?"
