A white haired man walked into a jeweller's shop late one Friday, with a beautiful young lady on 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 girls' 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 cheque and you can phone the bank tomorrow. Then I'll pick up the ring on Monday.”

Monday morning a very upset jeweller phones the man. “You lied - there's no money in that account!”

“I know, but can you imagine what a fantastic weekend I had?”
