A guy goes into Tiffany's in New York on a Friday afternoon and walks
up to a display case full of very expensive pearl necklaces. He eases
over next to this gorgeous woman who is looking at one of the
items, looks her straight in the eye and says, "I can tell by
your eyes that you really want that necklace.  I'd like to buy it
for you."

"You've got to be kidding," she says.

"No, really.  You see, I'm really got quite a lot of money - so much
that I have trouble deciding how to spend it.  It would be nothing to
me."

Now, the guy is wearing a five hundred dollar suit and some pretty
nice-looking jewelry, but the woman still doesn't buy his story. "Go
ahead," she says.

So the guy whips out his checkbook, writes a check for five figures,
calls over a clerk and hands it to him.  "The lady would like this
necklace right here."

"Very good, sir.  I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to give you the necklace
now; would Monday be all right?  We'll have to wait for your check to
clear."

"That'll be fine," the guy says, and walks out of the store with the
woman following him, amazed.

The next Monday the guy comes back in and walks up to the counter.  The
same clerk walks over to him and says, "Sir, I'm sorry to tell you this,
but I'm afraid that check you wrote last Friday was returned for
insufficient funds from the bank."

"That's okay," the guy says.  "I had a great weekend."
