>
> An older, white haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday
> evening with a beautiful young gal at his side. He 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."
>
> At that statement, the jeweller 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."
>
> The jeweller asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, 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 Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick
> the ring up Monday afternoon," he said.
>
> Monday morning, a very teed-off jeweller 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?"
