Let me tell ya...
An elderly man appears in a ***elery store with a 26 year old bombshell on his arm. The old man says to the ***eler: "I'd like to get this young lady something special." The ***eler takes out several trays of bracelets and rings. They are all gorgeous and have large stones. "These are all between seven and fifteen thousand dollars," he says. The young lady's breathing noticeably deepens. Says the old man: "I'd like to be more clear: I'd like to get this young woman something VERY special." The ***eler takes away the trays and brings out a tray filled with rings encrusted with large diamonds and emeralds and rubies. "These are all forty-thousand dollars and up," he says. The young woman is just plain panting now. They choose a ring: white gold and platinum, massive rock and encircling emeralds. The ***eler gives the couple a number: fifty-six thousand. The old man says "It's Friday. I'll give you a check. You deposit it, and I'll come back on Monday for the ring." The ***eler says "Fine: I'll have it shined and polished, ready to go." The next Monday the man returns to the ***elry store. The ***eler says "I'm sorry to tell you: your check wouldn't clear." The old man says "Yeah, I know. But let me tell you about my weekend..."
