Old and wise vs young

There once was a 70 year old man who met a recent winner of a beauty contest.
He brought her to a jewelry store, and told the clerk that it was love at first sight, and would like to purchase the best diamond ring for his new twenty year old fiance.
The clerk showed him a ten thousand dollar ring. The clerk stated the ring would hold it's value for a life time.
The old man said that ring was not good enough for his future bride. He wanted the very best.
The clerk grinned and showed the man a $100,0000 ring. The best he had. He had only sold three like, it in his life time. All to Donald Trump.
The old man asked his bride if she liked it. She nodded emphatically.
The old man stated that he wanted the ring sized, and he would write a check. He told the jeweler to cash the check that Friday and on the following Monday he would pick up the ring once it was sized.
The weekend passed and on Monday morning the jeweler waited for the man, but he failed to show up.
The jeweler went out to get lunch and while out, he saw the old man returning his expensive suit, to a fancy clothing store.
The jeweler approached the man, and said angrily, I got a bone to pick with you.
I tried to cash that check, and it bounced.
You don't even have ten cents in that checking account.
The old man said with a sly grin, that all may be true.
BUT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY WEEKEND!
