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.
