From PJ... Don't mess with Old People
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 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 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," he said.
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 had?"

The Farm Couple to perform
The Perkins Journal:
The Farm Couple will be performing at the Hideaway Pizza on the Fridays of Feb. 2 and 16, from 6: 30-8:30 p.m. Monica Taylor, from Perkins, and Patrick Williams, from Grove, perform traditional and original music at festivals and concerts in the central United States.
This roots-folk duo will be helping Richard and Marti Dermer celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Hideaway. The Dermers are longtime fans of music, from the folk revival of the 50's to the bluegrass revival in the 70's and the old traditional country music.
