A white haired man walked into a jeweller's shop late one Friday, with a beautiful young lady at his side.
"I'm looking for a special ring for my
girlfriend," he said.
The jeweller looks through his stock, and takes out an outstanding ring priced at $5,000.
"I don't think you understand . I want something very unique," he said.
At that, the jeweller went and fetched his 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?"
"I'll pay by cheque, but of course the bank would want
to make sure that everything is in order, so I'll write a check and you
can phone the bank tomorrow, then I'll fetch the ring on Monday."
Monday morning, a very pissed-off jeweller phones the man. "You bastard,
you lied - there's no money in that account."
"I know, but can you imagine what a fantastic weekend I had!"
