A white haired old man went into a jewellery store one Friday evening with a beautiful young woman and 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."
The jeweller then 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." When asked how payment would be made the old guy said he would pay by check. "I know you need to make sure my 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 upset jeweller phoned the old man. "There's no money in that account."
"I know", said the old man, "But just imagine the weekend I had."
