After being away on business, Tom 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 Tom, so she
returned with a smaller bottle for $30.00. "That's still quite a bit,"
Tom groused. Growing, disgusted, the clerk brought out a tiny $15.00
bottle.
"What I mean," said Tom, "is I'd like to see something real cheap."
So the clerk handed him a mirror.
