Don't mess with Old Vulcan Riders!

An old Vulcan Rider 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 and
showed it to him.

The old man said, "I don't think you understand, I want something very
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 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, a very teed-off jeweler phoned the old man. "There's no
money in that account."

"I know," said the old man, "but can you imagine the weekend I just
had?"
