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?`
