An elderly man with white hair walked into a jewelry store one Friday, accompanied by his stunning young girlfriend. He told the jeweler he was looking for a very special ring for her.
The jeweler showed him a $5,000 ring from the display, but the man shook his head. “I don’t think you understand,” he said. “I want something truly exceptional.”
Taking the hint, the jeweler went to his exclusive collection and returned with a ring priced at $40,000. The moment the young woman laid eyes on it, she lit up with excitement, visibly thrilled.
The older gentleman noticed her reaction and nodded. “We’ll take it,” he said confidently.
When the jeweler asked how he’d like to pay, the man replied, “I’ll write you a cheque now. I understand you’ll want to verify the funds, so call the bank on Monday, and I’ll come by that afternoon to collect the ring.”
Come Monday morning, the jeweler, now visibly frustrated, called the man. “Sir, your account has no money in it!”
“I know,” the old man chuckled. “But just imagine the weekend I had!”
