A white-haired old man walked into a jewelry store on a Friday, with a beautiful young lady at his side.
“I’m looking for a special ring for my girlfriend, “he said.
Our jeweler looked through our stock and took out an outstanding ring priced at $5,000.
“I don’t think you understand-I want something very unique, “the man said.
At that, the now very excited jeweler went and fetched our special stock from the safe.
“Here’s one stunning ring at $40,000. “
The girl’s eyes sparkled, and the man said that he would take it.
“How are you paying?” asked our jeweler.
“I’ll pay by check; but of course the bank will want to make sure that everything is in order, so I’ll write a check and you can phone the bank tomorrow, and then I’ll fetch the ring on Monday. “
Monday morning, our very disappointed jeweler phoned the man.
“You lied, there’s no money in that account. “
“I know, sorry, but can you imagine what a FANTASTIC weekend I had?”
