An old man walks into a jewelry store

An elderly man enters a jewelry shop accompanied by a young blonde woman. The salesperson instantly assumes the man might be being exploited because of the age gap. The woman asks the clerk to show her an expensive ring. The clerk glances at the old man, who quietly nods.

The clerk presents a ring priced at $50,000. The woman responds that it’s nice but wants something even more impressive. After another nod from the man, the clerk reveals a top-tier ring worth over $300,000. The woman loves it and decides to buy it. The old man writes a check, and the clerk explains that because of the high amount, it will take three days to clear, so they should return Monday to collect the ring.

When the man comes back alone on Monday, the clerk informs him that the check bounced due to insufficient funds. The man calmly replies that he knew it wouldn’t clear — he just wanted to drop by and share how his weekend went!
