Something Very Special

An elderly white-haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday
evening with a young 24 year old beautiful girl 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 $20,000" the
jeweller said.

The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with
excitement. She got closer to the old man in a show of affection and
appreciation.

The old man, seeing this ring said, let's try it on my girlfriend,
slipping it on her finger he told her it "fits and looks beautiful on
your hand, darling". S aying that he told the jeweller, "We'll take
it."

The jeweller 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 Monday afternoon."

Monday morning, a very pissed-off jeweller phoned the old man.
"There's no money in that account."

"I know", said the old man, "I am sorry but, man--you just can't
imagine the weekend I had!"
