Something Cheap

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

"What I mean," said Tom, "is I'd like to see something really cheap." So the clerk handed him a mirror.
