"A Special Ring" joke

An
older, white haired man walked into a jewelry store
one Friday
evening with a beautiful young gal at his side. He told
the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his
girlfriend.
The jeweler 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 jeweler went to his special
stock and brought another ring over. "Here's
a stunning ring at only $40,000," 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 check. " I know you need to
make sure my check 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," he said.
Monday morning, a very teed-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 had?".
