Special Ring
A white-haired old man walked into a jewelry store on a Friday, with a beautiful
young lady at his side.
"I'm looking for a special ring for my girlfriend, we just met last week" he
said.
Our jeweler looked through our stock and took out an outstanding ring priced
at $5,000.
"I don't think you understand-I want something very unique," the
man said.
At that, our now very excited jeweler went and fetched our 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?" asked our jeweler.
"I'll pay by check; but of course the bank will want to make sure that
everything is in order, so I'll write a check and you can phone the bank tomorrow,
and then I'll fetch the ring on Monday."
Monday morning, our very disappointed jeweler phoned the man. "You lied,
there's no money in that account."
"I know, sorry about that, but you can't imagine what
a FANTASTIC weekend I had."
