I love the story of the wealthy man who, upon the occasion of his daughter's marriage, sent a check for $5,000.00 to the bridegroom as a wedding present. He sent it by the hand of the bride's sister. When she returned, the man eagerly asked,
"What did your new brother-in-law say when you gave him the check?"
The girl replied,
"He didn't say anything, but when he looked at it he began to cry."
"And how long did he cry?" was the question. She replied,
"Oh, I imagine for about a minute."
"Only a minute?" roared the disappointed giver.
"Why, I cried for an hour after I signed that check."
