Jewellery

A WHITE haired man walked into a jeweller's shop late one Friday night with a beautiful young lady on his side.

"I'm looking for a special ring for my girlfriend," he told the jeweller.

So he looked through his stock and took out an outstanding ring priced at £5,000.

"I don't think you understand," he said. "I want something very unique."

The jeweller then went and got his special stock from the safe.

"Here's one stunning ring which costs £40,000."

The girls' eyes sparkled and the man said he would take it.

"How are you paying sir?" asked the jeweller.

"I'll pay by cheque - but of course the bank would want to make sure that everything is in order, so I'll write a cheque now and you can phone the bank tomorrow. I'll come back on Monday to collect the ring."

Monday morning a very angry off jeweller phoned the man.

"You git," he screamed. "You lied to me. There's no money in that account!"

"I know," giggled the man. "But can you imagine what a fantastic weekend I had?"
