I remember the story of the man who met this girl he liked, and after dinner on a Saturday, they went to a NYC Jewelry store and he picked out a 3 million dollar necklace for her, and wrote a check saying to the Jeweler,  " I will pick the necklace up Tuesday, after my check clears the bank". 

The Jeweler was fine with this, and the man and woman spent Saturday night, Sunday, and Monday "wearing each other out!". 

Tuesday afternoon the store called the man and told him the check had bounced for insufficient funds.

He grinned, and said "It cost me $35 bounced check charge, for the best long weekend I have EVER had."

There is a difference between "fetching" 90 million dollars, and GETTING 90 million dollars.
