When we are younger, we have a degree of wisdom that is built into us from the time we are born. It’s what allows us to get through the first few years of life, learning how to talk, walk, and even dance when the music is playing. As we get older, the wisdom continues to grow and develop and at times, we may even find that we are using it for our benefit in new and interesting ways. That was what happened in the following joke, when an old man took his young girlfriend into the jewelry store.
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!”
