An older, white haired man walked into a jeweler store one Friday evening with a beautiful young girl at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his new girlfriend.


The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a £3,000 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 jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. "Here's a stunning ring at only £25,000,"the jeweler 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 jeweler asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, by cheque. "I know you need to make sure my cheque 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 on Monday afternoon," he said.


On Monday morning, a very pissed-off jeweler phoned the old man. "There's no money in that account." "I know", said the old man, "but can you imagine the weekend I just had?"
