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 the check is good, so I'll write it now and
you can call the bank on 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?"
