A cocky young stud strode into a jewelry store one Friday evening with a beautiful, slightly drunk, impressionable young gal on his arm. He informed the jeweler that 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 young man smirked and said:
"I don't think you understand, I want something v-e-r-y special."
At that, the jeweler went to the vault and returned with a few more. Picking up the biggest sparkler, he said:
"This is a stunning ring at only $65,000 - but I can give it to you for $50,000."
...the jeweler said. The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. Seeing this, the young man said:
"We'll take it."
The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the young man stated:
"By cheque - I don't have my cards with me."
Before the jeweler could reply that there was no way that he would accept a cheque, the young man quickly continued:
"I know you'll need to make sure my cheque is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank on Monday to verify the funds. We'll pick the ring up on Monday afternoon."
On Monday morning, a very teed-off jeweler phoned the young man:
"Sir, I checked with the bank and you don't have sufficient funds to pay for the ring. In fact, you have $12.97 in your account."
"That much?"
said the young man,
"...But I did have a great weekend!"
