An older, white haired man walked into a jewellery store one Friday
evening with a beautiful young gal at his side.
He told the jeweller he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend.
The jeweller 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 jeweller went to his special stock and brought
another ring over. "Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000," the jeweller
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 jeweller asked how payment would be made and the old man stated,
"By
check and 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. I'll pick
the ring
Monday afternoon," he said.
Monday morning, a very teed-off jeweller 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?"
