Incidents
Phyllis Gag. DETOURS
15/JUL/1970
A tightwad went into a gift shop to find an inexpensive birthday present for a friend, but he found everything very expensive, except for a vase that had been broken.
He purchased it for practically nothing and asked the store to send it. He wanted the friend to think it had been broken in transit.
A week later, he received a thank-you note that read: "Many thanks for the vase. It was nice of you to wrap each piece separately."
