Cheapskate

"Bottle of Perfume"

After being away on business, Tim thought it
would be nice to bring his wife a little gift.

"How about some perfume?" he asked the
cosmetics clerk.

She showed him a bottle costing $50.00.

"That's a bit much," said Tim, so she returned
with a smaller bottle for $30.00.

"That's still quite a bit," Tim complained.

Growing annoyed, the clerk brought out a tiny
$15.00 bottle.

"What I mean," said Tim, "is I'd like to see
something really cheap."

The clerk handed him a mirror.

"Cheapskate"

A man takes his seat in the theater, but he is too
far from the stage.

He whispers to the usher, "This is a mystery, and
I have to watch a mystery close up. Get me a better
seat, and I'll give you a handsome tip."

The usher moves him into the second row, and
the man rewards him with a quarter.

The usher looks at his tip for a second and then
leans over to whisper to the man, "The wife did it."
