The Ring

A young man walked into a jewellery store one Friday evening with a

Beautiful young gal at his side. He told the jewelers he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jewelers looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring and showed it to him. The young man said, "I don't think you understand, I want something very special." At that statement, the jewelers went to his special stock and brought another ring over. "Here's a stunning ring at only $40, 000, the jewelers said. The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The young man seeing this said, "We'll take it." The jewelers asked how payment would be made and the young 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 teed-off jeweller phoned the young man. "There's no money in that account." "I know", said the young man, "but can you imagine the weekend I had?" --
