A white haired man walked into a jeweler's shop late one Friday afternoon with a beautiful young lady at his side. "I'm looking for a special ring for my girlfriend" he said. The jeweler 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 jeweler got his special stock from his safe. "Here's one stunning ring at $40,000."
The girls' eyes sparkled, and the man said that he would take it. "How are you paying?"
"I'll pay by check, 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 get the ring on Monday".
Monday morning a very disgusted jeweler phones the man. " You lied, Sir, there is no money in that account"
"I know, but can you imagine what a fantastic weekend I had?"
